To be or not to be
unemployed.......!!
Disabled workers are more likely to be self-employed because of the barriers they face in finding employment.
“we need to widen employment support and invest in social
infrastructure, such as childcare, skills and health”
4% of people are
unemployed –
about 1.4 million
people in the UK
The unemployed represent only a small part of the nearly 11 million working-age people (aged 16-64) who are not in a paid job
Around half of people with disabilities do not have a paid job
The disability employment gap is now at its widest point since 2018
