This project has two main goals: (1) an analysis of the socio-economic profile of people with disabilities based on the current administrative data, and (2) an evaluation of the effectiveness of the allowances for disabled persons. The project is coordinated by Prof. Chantal Van Audenhove and Dr. Koen Hermans of Lucas K.U.Leuven and by Prof. Jos Berghman of the Centre for Sociological Research of the K.U.Leuven. The researchers of CESO will answer the first question by analyzing the administrative data from the Datawarehouse labour market and social protection. The second question will be answered by a survey with persons with disability allowances about their social and financial situation. This part of the research will be carried out by the LUCAS research team.
