Report on the Disabled 2000

Original title: Rapportage gehandicapten 2000. This report devotes attention to the economic independence of people with chronic disorders. These are people with chronic illnesses, physical disabilities, psychological disorders or intellectual disabilities. The report first describes the size of this group. It then looks at the extent to which they participate in the labour market, what their workplace is like and how much use they make of provisions designed to promote their participation in employment (such as placement services or workplace adaptations). It also examines their financial position, and in particular the level of income and their illness-related expenditure
