abstract: 'Background: Mental illness is the prime reason for the inflow into
disability insurance in many countries. The integration of persons with
a disability into the regular labor market is costly and in the case of
mentally ill persons, particularly difficult. Supported Education and
Employment - a rehabilitation method that directly places patients in a
realistic work environment - has been shown to be effective in
increasing competitive employment. However, it has not yet been widely
implemented.
Aims of the Study: We evaluate ex-ante the willingness to participate in
Supported Education and Employment and the barriers to do so from the
employer''s perspective.
Methods: We conducted a discrete choice experiment implemented in an
online survey. The survey was carried out among all Swiss companies
which provide standard dual-track vocational education and training for
commercial occupations in Eastern Switzerland. We presented respondents
(employees who are responsible for vocational training and/or for the
selection of applicants) with a sample of five hypothetical profiles.
These profiles vary along different medical diagnoses, different illness
related (dys-)functions, and other characteristics that may be
associated with a company''s willingness to accept the candidate (such as
school performance, motivation, and illness related absences).
Respondents were asked whether or not they would train this person.
Results: 22\% of the profiles are accepted. However, our results
demonstrate that the hypothetical bias - which is the difference between
individual saying what they would do in a hypothetical setting and what
they will do when they have the opportunity - is severe. Correcting for
this bias using follow-up scales ({''''}Are you sure?{''''}) reduces the
overall acceptance in our sample to 9\%. Keeping in mind the response
rate to our survey of 35\%, overall acceptance may be as low as 3\%.
Non-cognitive dysfunctions (e.g. non-adherence to regulations,
difficulties with contacts with others) that are related to mental
disorders, are the main deterrents. Patients with psychotic disorders
are particularly disadvantaged.
Implications for Health Policy: Although there are no direct costs to
the employer, a wide introduction of Supported Vocational Education and
Training is likely to fail at the current stage with the unwillingness
of companies to train people with special needs. There may be additional
incentives needed, for example in form of subsidies or legal
requirements. Even though our experiment has been tailored to the Swiss
system, our results may also be relevant in other countries with similar
dual-track education systems.'
