Ethnicity and Disability

Gap Question:-

It will provide a detailed analysis of the present availability of research, intelligence and datasets with regard to ethnicity and disability, especially focused on the full and part-time labour markets to provide a greater robustness of baseline data.  It will look at survey of employers in terms of looking specifically at their ethnic and their disabled employees, their definitions of disabled and the effects of their disabilities on working life.  Data collected will also relate to age, gender, types of disability, educational background etc and carried out annual basis.

The NWDA Research Team has updated the Disability in the Northwest report produced by WM Enterprises in 2004.  This updated report analyses the number of disabled people, breakdown by gender, economic activity, employment rates and claimant rates, as these were the only areas where updated data was available.  Evidence is broken down to local authority level where possible to enable us to understand local disparities.  A full report is available together with a Summary document.
