Question:34 Mr. Sargent asked the Taoiseach if he will have people with a disability included in the overall unemployment statistics. [12179/95]
Written Answers. - Unemployment Statistics.
The main source of employment and unemployment statistics is the annual labour force survey. Persons with disabilities which do not prevent them from working are classified according to labour force status in the same way as anyone else in the population. Persons who are unable to work because of disability would not meet the international criteria for classification as unemployed.
