No other vocational intervention comes close to IPS's evidence base: 25+ randomised controlled trials across 15 countries, consistent effect sizes of 1.5–2.5× traditional rehabilitation, replicated in high-benefit welfare states including Norway, the Netherlands, and Denmark. Yet European implementation remains fragmented and under-scale.
Denmark's flexjob programme — a permanent wage-subsidy arrangement for people with reduced work capacity — is one of Europe's most expensive and extensive disability employment interventions. After two decades and €2+ billion in annual expenditure, the employment outcomes are more modest than the price tag suggests.
When you look beyond the official unemployment rate, approximately 30 million working-age Europeans are structurally outside the labour market — on disability benefits, long-term sickness, early retirement, or inactive. The fiscal cost exceeds €400 billion annually. This is the defining labour market challenge of the decade.
Employer behaviour is the missing link in disability employment policy. Decades of wage subsidies, legal mandates, and awareness campaigns have produced modest results. Field experiments reveal why: employers avoid disability disclosure not from malice but from rational responses to perceived risk and information gaps. Fixing this requires understanding what employers actually fear.
