Among disabled men aged between 15 and 66, the employment rate increased by approximately three percentage points from the second quarter of 2012 to the corresponding quarter of 2013. The strongest increase was among the under 40s. Among females as a whole there was no significant change, but the employment rate among 55-66 year-olds increased.

In the second quarter of 2013, 42.7 per cent of the disabled population aged 15-66 was employed, compared to 74.2 per cent among the whole population.

Stable share of people who want paid work

Twenty-seven per cent of disabled people without employment wanted to be employed in the second quarter of 2013, compared to 32 per cent for the whole population aged 15-66. Just 20 per cent of the disabled people wanting work were classified as unemployed, according to the criteria on active job seeking and availability for a job, compared to 34 per cent in total.

High level of part-time work

Forty-five per cent of disabled people in employment were working part-time, compared to 26 per cent of the employed people in total. The part-time rate among disabled people was 60 per cent for females and 29 per cent for males.
