Employment participation; disabled people 2003-2014

This table contains annual figures from 2003 to 2014 on labour participation of disabled and non-workers in the Netherlands. Both disabled and non-workable persons aged 15 to 65 (excluding the institutional population) are classified in the active, unemployed and non-working population. The workers are further classified on the basis of the position in the workforce and the average working time. A breakdown by gender, age and educational level is available for the different classifications. Data available: 2003-2014 Status of the figures: Figures based on the EBB are always final. Changes as of 25 November 2016: This table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming? This table was discontinued due to a break in the number series due to a change in the questionnaire from 2015. From 2015 onwards, the demand for disability will be asked to everyone, including those who have previously indicated that they do not want to work (full-time) or to stop working because of illness/incapacity for work. In addition, the age limit has shifted from 65 to 75 in line with the new definition of labour force.
