The research was done in 2000 by the University of Trier and the International Research Unit for Work and Social Integration (IFASI). The purpose of the study was to capture, document, and analyse internal practices of occupational rehabilitation in five German car factories. Taking a qualitative approach, 23 persons of different company areas were interviewed, and numerous documents were analysed.
