“…In this study, we used propensity score matching to identify a control group similar to patients with MS at year of diagnosis. Propensity score matching is often used in studies estimating the attributable effect of treatment in observational studies, 19 20 but has also been used in exploring the effects of disability, road injuries [21][22][23][24] and disease. 25 In such studies, the disease onset or accident is analysed as if it was an initiated treatment, comparing individuals matched on pre-event characteristics.…”

ObjectivesWe compared work disability of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) from 5 years before with 5 years after diagnosis, with that of matched controls, and analysed whether progression in work disability among patients with MS was associated with sociodemography.DesignPopulation-based cohort study.SettingThe adult Swedish general population.ParticipantsResidents aged 24–57 diagnosed with MS (n=3685) in 2003–2006 and 18 425 matched controls without MS.Primary and secondary outcome measuresAnnual net days of sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP), used as a proxy for work disability, followed from 5 years before to 5 years after diagnosis (ie, T−5–T+5). For patients with MS, regression was used to identify sociodemographic factors related to progression in work disability.ResultsWork disability of patients with MS increased gradually between T−5 and T−1 (mean: 46–82 days) followed by a sharp increase (T+1, 142 days), after which only a marginal increase was observed (T+5, 149 days). The matched controls had less work disability, slightly increasing during the period to a maximum of ∼40 days. Men with MS had a sharper increase in work disability before diagnosis. High educational level was associated with less progression in work disability before and around diagnosis.ConclusionsPatients with MS had more work disability days also 5 years before diagnosis. Several sociodemographic variables were associated with the absolute level and the progression in SA and DP.

“… The main alternative method to examine the impact of disability onset or receipt of disability benefits on labour market outcomes using longitudinal data has been propensity score matching or difference‐in‐difference propensity score matching where the impact is assessed relative to a control group (see, for example, Von Wachter et al ., and Polidano and Vu, ).…”

This paper examines the dynamic relationship between work‐limiting disability and labour market outcomes using longitudinal data created by matching individuals in the Local Labour Force Survey (2004–10). By applying event‐study methods, changes in employment are traced through the onset of, and exit from, disability. These relationships are examined between subgroups of the population, including those defined by the nature and severity of disability. For most groups we find evidence of asymmetry in the impact of onset and exit: employment is significantly reduced at onset and continues to decline post‐onset whereas, after controlling for unobserved heterogeneity, exiting disability has a limited effect.

“…Labour market thresholds related to employee productivity and employer prejudices translate into substantially lower employment probabilities, working hours and job stability for the disabled [4,27,29,32,40]. 1 Given the costs associated with their unfavourable outcomes -costs at both the individual and the societal levels -it is not surprising that integrating the disabled into the labour market is a key ambition of many OECD countries [29].…”

Wage subsidies and hiring chances for the disabled: some causal evidence

We evaluate the effectiveness of wage subsidies as a policy instrument to integrate disabled individuals into the labour market. To identify causal effects, we conduct a large-scale field experiment in Belgium. Our results show that the likelihood of a disabled candidate receiving a positive response to a job application is not positively influenced by revealing entitlement to the Flemish Supporting Subsidy
