The employment rate for disabled people remains a staggering 30 percentage points below that for people without a disability. Only half of all people of working age with long-term health problems are in employment and this has barely changed since before the Covid pandemic. Yet only one in ten out-of-work disabled people get help to find work each year. Employment support needs to be extended to a much larger proportion of the 741,000 people who are currently economically inactive due to long-term sickness who want to work. Alongside this, both government and employers must ensure that good quality employment opportunities are open to everyone, regardless of their personal circumstances.
