We explore 25 literature reviews and experimental studies on interventions that (could) successfully lead to the integration of disabled persons into the competitive labour market. In spite of the wide scope of health conditions and background characteristics of disabled persons, we are able to identify several ‘incentive boosters’: (1) work modifi...

BackgroundEmployment holds many benefits for people living with psychosis. However, significant barriers to employment for this cohort appear to exist, notably stigma and discrimination against people living with serious mental health conditions. We asked: Would a qualitative sample including multiple stakeholder groups reveal similar results and i...
WP 24 uses a simple and efficient computational method for inter-census record linkage based on Jaro-Winkler, with fuzzy name matching and data blocking including birthplace and other standardisation. Entrepreneurs and a general population sample are derived from the BBCE and I-CeM England and Wales census datasets 1851-91. Matches are achieved wit...
WP 23 first outlines the various gaps in e-census records from BBCE and I-CeM and how they have arisen. It assesses sources for identifying archivally lost records and compares these with the BBCE and I-CeM databases at the level of RSDs for census years 1851-6, and 1881-1911. The paper develops weights to compensate for the identified gaps and pro...
This paper discusses how the published census reports from 1921 up to 2011 can be used to derive information on employers and their workforce, self-employed sole proprietors, and the remaining occupied population as workers. It assesses how the content changed over time and it has to be managed to obtain comparability and alignment with the earlier...

Labor market mobility and demographic change contribute to higher numbers of people providing care for their family members from a distance. Concerning the reconciliation of work and care the geographic distance between family members becomes more and more important. For progressive employers, this raises the question to what extent their portfolio...
This dataset contains RecID from I-CeM Adjustment Weights for the 1891-1911 England and Wales censuses and corresponds to Supplementary material for the paper "The Population of Non-corporate Business Proprietors in England and Wales 1891-1911", by Bennett, Robert J., Montebruno, Piero, Smith, Harry J. as an outcome of the ESRC project ES/M010953: ...
Data set provides the cut-offs for each Registration District code in England and Wales 1851–1881 for a logit estimate using a 0.25 threshold, as described in Working Paper 9, and published in Agricultural History Review 2019, Montebruno et al. Also provided are the alpha and beta coefficients of the logit estimator. Reference for WP9: Bennett, Rob...
