This report considers the growing debate about expenditure on disability and the applicability of "welfare to work"-type strategies for disabled people. It examines the changes in employment patterns of disabled people and benefits expenditure, and provides an analysis of how disabled people's employment has changed over the last decade. It also underlines the potential for disabled people currently out of work to participate in employment and explores the dynamics of benefit receipt and work. Enduring economic exclusion provides an overview of typical patterns over time and shows how disabled people experience multiple transitions between work and benefit.
