This report shows
That people with an (incurred) handicap have a
much lower connection to the labour market than
healthy persons.
Some groups are without a working capacity.
The group with a small handicap can find a job
easily. The group with a larger handicap finds it
much more difficult to find a job, even though
they have a working capacity.

This indicates that there are not quite equal
opportunities for all people who have intentions
to work, but have incurred handicap.
