I used to study social data science. A couple of my projects, including masters thesis were dedicated to disability, but I didn’t specialise in disability specifically.
And then I became heavily disabled myself (by utter unluckiness).
So while I did work in a similar field this is mostly coming from personal experience.
Not that dissimilar. Can you please provide a source?
That would indeed be surprising information for me!
250k people on disability benefits + estimated 270k people on long term sick leave from work = 520k
the proportion of that to our 5.7 million working age population is about 1 in 12
two datasets used for calculation: https://www.bsv.admin.ch/bsv/fr/home/assurances-sociales/iv/statistik.html https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/fr/home/statistiques/travail-remuneration/activite-professionnelle-temps-travail/heures-travail/absences.html
Thank you. It’s indeed not that different. Going from 1 in 12 to 1 in 10 is not as great difference as I assumed.
I need to review my opinion on the magnitude of the freeloather problem.
I assume you might work in the field, given your chosen username?

I work a lot in data science too. But yeah, I was born with it, had to live with it, even before diagnosis.
That’s my point of view: I can do it despite, given A and B and C …
You’ve known a before. I can imagine the difference to be shocking. You have before and after!
Yeah it’s pretty bad. I haven’t been able to leave my bed since I became disabled. My body is basically half dead
I’m thinking paralysis? Am I wrong?
You’re feeling angry too, right?
How can I help you?
