"... relative to most European peers, the UK adults with long-term health conditions fare poorly in employment outcomes." Important research from @employmentstudies.bsky.social

IES' @drzofia.bsky.social & @jonnygiff.bsky.social reflect on recent IES research for the Commission for #HealthierWorkingLives, supported by @healthfoundation.bsky.social, that analysed how the UK compares with 14 EU countries when looking at long-term ill health & employment. Read: bit.ly/3WWpMbF
“Compared to our peers, the UK could be doing a great deal better to improve the employment prospects of those with ill health… Through an evidence-based approach, we should be able to find a combination of support and incentives that weakens the link between ill health and economic inactivity.”

Check out 'Modern Life is Rubbish' by Blur if you have not already. Everything about that record is great. Came completely out of nowhere and sounded like no other band at the time, although it sounds timeless.

Thanks Ruth, I was pleased to see you here, and some good folks from @britishgerontology.bsky.social. If it's like the twitter of old I'll be happy :-)
