This research project addresses the question of possible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the employment status of people with disabilities. On the one hand, it will be investigated whether a particularly pronounced increase in job losses can be observed in the especially vulnerable group of employees with disabilities after the onset of the pandemic compared to the non-disabled labour force, and which factors influence the probability of job loss. Second, we analyse the changes in the re-employment among unemployed persons with disabilities as well as their protective and risk factors. Demographic and employment-related characteristics (such as migration status, education level, level of qualification, and gender) and social factors are examined as possible moderating factors. In addition, three possible pandemic-related effects on the labour market situation of people with disabilities are analysed in more detail, namely COVID-19-related worries and fears, self-efficacy expectations, and social support. The analyses take into account the severity of (officially recognized) disabilities, the self-reported subjective health status, and specified disease groups. The data basis for the research project is the de facto anonymised data of the Panel Labour Market and Social Security (PASS).
