ESE - Disability Injury

We evaluate the effects of a Supported Employment (SE) program aimed at Disability Insurance (DI) recipients with mental conditions. The programme is characterised by a “work-first" approach, which includes intensive job coaching and follow-along support. 

(joint with Sébastien Fontenay)

Using a Randomised Control Trial with more than 660 participants over a follow-up period of 30 months, we compare the benefits of this new program to regular vocational rehabilitation services traditionally used in Belgium.

We find that SE increases the probability that DI recipients with mental conditions work while on claim by 7.5 percentage points and reduces their reliance on DI benefits by 9.5 percent.
