Sažetak
Individuals with disabilities represent 15% of the EU population, but only around a fifth of them are employed. The paper investigates the labour market position of individuals with disabilities, focusing on the quality and stability of their employment in comparison to individuals without disabilities. The results of a population-wide microdata analysis show that individuals with disabilities are on average less educated, concentrate in low-skill occupations, and more often have an open-end contract, however, the matching process also reveals a wage gap. The results highlight the comparative position of individuals with disabilities in the labour market and can as such carry relevant policy implications.
