The unemployment rate amongst disabled persons is twice as high as the rate for those without a disability. Disabled people also need to search for a significantly longer period in order to secure a job. In 2017, the inclusion charity “Aktion Mensch” surveyed young people on their experiences of finding their way into work. This article presents selected results from the survey. It also describes another network called “Initiative Perspektiva”, which assists disabled young people at the second threshold.
