Adults with disabilities and health limitations: vocational rehabilitation aims at prevention of unemployment and at tailored re-employment support

Abstract

"This report focuses on vocational rehabilitation for adults with disabilities and health limitations financed by the Federal Employment Agency from 2010 to 2015. Increasing number of people apply for vocational rehabilitation within the last years. Among participant cohorts we find increasing numbers and shares of people that come from employment, have a musculoskeletal disability and receive technical assistances at the workplace. Upon the end of rehabilitation in 2014, more than half of the participants were in contributed employment. In parts, this is due to the fact that prior employment can be retained through participation in vocational rehabilitation." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
