During the last two years, the full-time employment rate among disabled people has increased. However, the corresponding part-time rate is still much higher than the rate for employed people in total, with 43.5 per cent compared to 24.1 per cent.

Twenty-eight per cent of disabled people without employment wanted to be employed in the second quarter of 2014; the same rate as for the whole population aged 15-66. Just 18 per cent of disabled people wanting work were classified as unemployed, according to the criteria on active job seeking and availability for a job, compared to 36 per cent in total.
