Disability Pensions and Active Labor Market Policy

Abstract: Danish active labor market policy, under the headline of flexicurity, has received international attention due to its claimed ability to curb unemployment while boosting employment. A strong belief in the positive effects of activation, in policy as well as practice, has had consequences for all client types, including those who are far from labor market participation due to social, mental, physical, or other problems. We analyze the application of active labor market policy measures used to support clients wi… Show more

“…Similar reasoning can be seen in Denmark, where an evaluation strongly criticised the old "Resource Profile" for conceiving of work capacity as something that exists (and can be measured) in the abstract, independently of specific contexts [47]. Claimants are therefore now only awarded a disability pension if an assessing multidisciplinary team is confidentand can demonstratethat the individual has no capacity for work [48,49 and expert interviews]. While this includes people who have such severe functional limitations that they "obviously" ("helt åbenbart") cannot be moved towards work [50], in practice the majority of claimantsand nearly all claimants under 40are required to go through a scheme called Resource Activation ("Ressourceforløb") for one to five years.…”

“…Tidligere dansk forskning om førtidspension har ved hjaelp af register-og survey data søgt at fi nde forklaringer på udviklingen i antallet af tilkendelser og i regionale og kommunale forskelle i tilkendelsespraksis (Bengtsson, 2002). Andre studier har med en kombination af kvantitative og kvalitative data belyst kompleksiteten i sagsforløb, som har ledt frem til tilkendelse af førtidspension, og hvilken rolle aktive redskaber spiller i kommunernes praksis på området (Caswell & Kleif, 2013). Denne artikel bidrager med et historisk overblik og saetter fokus på aendringerne i samspillet mellem socialpolitiske og arbejdsmarkedspolitiske ideer i relation til førtidspension og de mulige konsekvenser heraf.…”
