Joining in with limitations.

Original title: Meedoen met beperkingen.

There are approximately 1.7 million people with physical disabilities in the Netherlands. This seventh Report on the Disabled provides an insight into their participation in society and their living conditions, and compares these with people without disabilities. Topics covered include participation in paid employment; social participation; participation in education; financial position; housing situation; take-up of care and use of mobility aids.
People with severe disabilities not only participate in the labour market less than people without disabilities, but their social participation, such as visiting museums, the theatre or cinema, is also lower. The differences in participation between people with and without disabilities did not reduce between 1995 and 2003.
Joining in with limitations is the seventh in the series of reports on the disabled published by the Netherlands Institute for Social Research/SCP at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport.
