Abstract

In this study, we use data derived from different administrative sources to investigate the employment of people with disabilities through targeted placement services in the Lombardy region. Our analysis reveals that within the period considered (2018–2022), there was an increase in the proportion of employed people among those registered with these services. The share of individuals hired on permanent contracts also increased. Among the most relevant characteristics influencing an individual’s chances of employment were citizenship, age, education and degree of disability. Individuals’ chances of securing a permanent contract were also affected by gender.
