People with physical, mental or intellectual disabilities face significant obstacles in society. These obstacles have negative impacts on their professional life, education, health and social relationships and create inequalities. To gain better knowledge of when, how and why inequalities arise, it is necessary to observe and follow individuals with disabilities over time. The purpose of this project is to link previously collected survey and register data to create unique longitudinal data at the individual level and conduct life course analyses of individuals with different types of disabilities.
