Disability employment gap

Inquiry

Disability employment gap

The Committee is investigating the gap between the employment rates of disabled and non-disabled people and how the Department for Work and Pensions can better support disabled people in the labour market.

We're focusing on:

  • Trends in the disability employment gap
  • The economic impact of low employment rates for disabled people
  • The assistance available to help people in work
  • The ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially disabled people. So we’ve produced the call for evidence in text, audio, British Sign Language and EasyRead formats.

Find the Disability employment gap call for evidence in multiple formats here.
