Ireland: Mystery of massive rise in those quitting workforce on disability

Since 2006, there has been a 37.7pc increase in the number of people who have left the labour force citing a condition that substantially limits one or more basic physical activities.

This is not people who have been unfortunate enough to be born with a disability, but people who have developed a disabling condition. This means 55,000 people, bigger than Waterford, the country s fifth largest city. Between 2002 and 2006, the same figure only increased by 1pc which is less than 2,000 people.

So what has happened from 2006 to 2012 to cause 53,000 extra people to leave the labour force due to physical disability?

Meanwhile, the number of people leaving the labour force citing a psychological or emotional condition has risen even more dramatically, 88,000 people are now diagnosed with an emotional or psychological condition that is bad enough that they can t work. This is a 27,000 rise from the same figure in 2006.
