Abstract

Tomas Boman (2019): The situation on the Swedish labour market for persons with disabilities. Studies from the Swedish Institute for Disability Research No 96.

The overall aim of this thesis is to explore how the labour market situation appears to persons with different types of disabilities in Sweden. Study I (n=4 359) examined the importance of the person’s type of disability for the possibility of having a job. Study II (n=3 396) examined whether there were differences in occupational attainment between persons with different types of disabilities and between persons with and without a disability (n=19 004). Study III (n=4 359) examined perceived discrimination in the workplace among persons with different types of disabilities. Study IV (n=2 268) examined what support and adaptation persons with different types of disabilities need in their actual workplace or to enter the labour market. In studies I–III the respondents were divided into six disability types, and in study IV the respondents were di-vided into four disability types.

Overall, it can be concluded that a person’s type of disability is of im-portance for the situation in the labour market, where persons with psycho-logical disabilities encounter barriers to a greater extent than other groups, both difficulties at the present workplace and difficulties entering the labour market. Further, they were subjected to discrimination and they expressed a great need for adaptations to acquire employment and at their actual workplace. It can also be concluded that there are discriminatory mecha-nisms against women, who have more difficulties than men in acquiring em-ployment, and that men, despite lower education, can more easily progress in the labour market. It is suggested that, in order to achieve inclusion and recognition, factors in the environment, such as existing support systems, need to be changed and developed, and social prejudices vis-à-vis people with disabilities must also be addressed.

Keywords: type of disability, disabilities, employment, occupational attainment, discrimination, support and adaptation, excluding processes, inclusion.
