Labor market participation of individuals with spinal cord injury living in Switzerland: determinants of between-person differences and counterfactual evaluation of their instrumental value for policy.

Between-person variation in labor market participation of persons with SCI is influenced by various temporal, static, dynamic, and policy-related determinants. Our results suggest that policy strategies aimed at enhancing the employment rate of the Swiss SCI population may particularly invest in programs promoting functional independence, education, and partial pension levels that are more adequate for ensuring sustainable employment.
