In Q2 2017 – and since then every year in the second quarter – the core survey of the Hungarian Labour Force Survey (LFS) is supplemented with information that enables to identify people with disabilities, to present their demographic and labour market characteristics, and the changes in them. The questions are addressed to persons aged 15–64 being in the sample of the Q2.
Questions to identify people with disabilities in the Labour Force Survey
In accordance with the definitions used in previous ad hoc modules of the LFS harmonized at EU level, and supplementary surveys for national purposes, we consider persons with disabilities are, who
1) indicate any type of longstanding health problem, illness or disability (that has lasted or is likely to last for at least 6 months) and
2) feel limited in work due to their health problems.
Both conditions should apply to the respondent.
