ESRC StudentshipDespite Disability being associated with substantial labour market disadvantage there is a shortage of disability research within social sciences, particularly within economics. This research will contribute to the research gap by analysing existing UK micro-data including the Annual Population Survey and Life Opportunities Survey. The analysis will be enhanced by the creation and exploratory analysis of new linked administrative (health) and survey data sets (within SAIL) to evaluate the additional insights gained by data linking.
