This publication constitutes the third interim report of the pilot project “Development of a data infrastructure for regular statistics on disability and participation” commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection (BMSGPK).

The analyses presented in this report focus on persons with a so-called “registered disability”.  These are persons that appear in federal administrative registers on the following groups of people: recipients of the federal long-term care allowance (“Pflegegeld”), holders of an Austrian disability pass, persons with the status “registered persons with disabilities according to the Disability Employment Act” (Status “begünstigt behindert”) and persons with a degree of disability below 50 %. For this report, data from administrative registers on the aforementioned groups of people were matched with data from the Central Population Register (“Zentrales Melderegister”), specialised statistical registers, the Register-based Labour Market Careers and the Register of educational attainment and thereby indicators on the education and employment of persons with “registered disability” for the first time analysed. 

This publication is available in German only.
