Alma Economics was commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to conduct an evidence review of programmes supporting disabled people and people with health conditions to enter the labour market and remain in employment.

Our team followed a systematic and transparent methodology to retrieve evidence from the academic and grey literature. The review explored (i) international and UK interventions aiming to help people move into and progress in employment, (ii) the differences in outcomes across different demographic groups, and (iii) the factors that proved successful for disabled people and people with health conditions in moving closer towards employment.

We also developed an interactive online tool which enables users to explore the evidence of interest swiftly and identify gaps in the literature by using the available filters.
