abstract: 'Background: Employment rates of long-term ill and disabled people in the
UK are low and 2.63 million are on disability-related state benefits.
Since the mid-1990 s, UK governments have experimented with a range of
active labour market policies aimed to move disabled people off benefits
and into work to reduce the risk of poverty and social exclusion. This
systematic review asks what employment impact have these interventions
had and how might they work better?
Methods: A systematic review of observational and qualitative empirical
studies and systematic reviews published between 2002 and mid-2008
reporting employment effects and/or process evaluations of national UK
government interventions focused on helping long-term sick or disabled
people (aged 16-64) into the open labour market. This built on our
previous systematic review which covered the years 1970 to 2001.
Results: Searches identified 42 studies, 31 of which evaluated
initiatives with an individual focus (improving an individual''s
employability or providing financial support in returning to work) while
11 evaluated initiatives with an environmental focus (directed at the
employment environment or changing the behaviour of employers). This
paper synthesises evidence from the 31 studies with an individual focus.
The use of personal advisors and individual case management in these
schemes helped some participants back to work. Qualitative studies,
however, revealed that time pressures and job outcome targets influenced
advisors to select `easier-to-place'' claimants into programmes and also
inhibited the development of mutual trust, which was needed for
individual case management to work effectively. Financial incentives can
help with lasting transitions into work, but the incentives were often
set too low or were too short-term to have an effect. Many of the
studies suffered from selection bias into these programmes of more
work-ready claimants. Even though these were national programmes, they
had very low awareness and take-up rates, making it unlikely that a
population-level impact would be achieved even if effective for
participants.
Conclusions: The evidence reveals barriers and facilitators for the
effective implementation of these types of interventions that could
inform the continuing welfare reforms. The evidence points towards the
need for more long-term, sustained and staged support for those furthest
from the labour market.'
