Yesterday I met with @disabilityni to discuss the impact of the cost of living crisis on deaf and disabled people. I will continue to work closely with the department to support the deaf and disabled community as the cost of living rises.

Digital skills are essential for everyone! We deliver training all over NI to help folks #getonline & gain confidence using the internet.
This group from the @rvra_limavady had never shopped online before, so @Stef_SuppCom took them through everything they need to know🤩

Following the publication of our report, we have added a disability page to the @UlsterUniEPC labour market intelligence portal. Including many of the main charts from the report. We will keep these numbers up to date & update quarterly. Available via: ulster.ac.uk/epc/labour-mark…

If NI could match todays disability employment rate by 2031 it would move an additional 28k people into work, boost GVA by £1.3bn, generate £400m in exchequer benefits and reduce poverty amongst the disabled population to it's lowest ever rate. 10/12

70% of out of work disabled people have previously worked and have developed workplace skills. 23% of economically inactive disabled persons would like a job now, and 28% intend on working again in the future. This represents a large stock of underutilised labour. 9/12

Disabled people report lower levels of well being across a range of metrics including anxiety, happiness, life satisfaction and feeling worthwhile. Well-being indicators are influenced by a range of social and economic circumstances - we can do better. 8/12

Disabled workers tend to earn less than non-disabled workers, even after accounting for qualifications and job type. 7/12

Occupations where disabled individuals have a higher concentration have been in low growth occupations. A key challenge is to ensure disabled people can access opportunities across all occupations, specifically fast-growing occupations. 6/12

NI is an outlier amongst UK regions, with a much higher proportion of people with more limiting conditions. This explains part of NI’s relatively large disability employment rate gap, but it is only one of many factors. 5/12
ONSIDE project retweeted
Large employment rate gaps exist between disabled people and non-disabled people even
after controlling for qualifications. The employment rate of disabled persons with a tertiary level qualification is below the employment rate of the lowest qualified non-disabled persons. 4/12

A concerning fall in the employment rate of disabled youth has been recorded over the past two years. Although non-disabled youth employment has also fallen, the decrease amongst disabled 16-24 year olds has been much more severe. 3/12
ONSIDE project retweeted
The disability employment rate gap tends to increase amongst older age groups. 2/12

🧵Today @UlsterUniEPC publishes research examining disability in the labour market. NI has not only the lowest disabled employment rate of any UK region, but also the widest employment gap between disabled and non-disabled people. 1/12

This amazing project is sadly coming to an end soon. It has been a real privilege to be a part of something that has had such a big impact on so many people.
Best of luck to all the @onside_project team who are moving on to the next chapter!
