UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE DISABLED

Abstract
An analysis of Employment Services Division statistics shows a close relationship between the levels of unemployment in the disabled rehabilitated at the Employment Rehabilitation Centres (ERCs) and the rates of unemployment in the general population in the whole of Great Britain (r = 0.90) or in the local areas of the Centres (r = 0.66). There is also a significant association between the levels of unemployment in 749 rehabilitees passing through one ERC and the rates of unemployment in their home areas. The results have practical implications for both the employment and medical rehabilitation services.
