For a breakdown by age and health condition, see: Health conditions among working-age people The number of workers with work-limiting conditions has increased across industries, especially in the public sector Of the 3.9 million workers aged 16 to 64 years with work-limiting condition. [...] *Students removed from transitions from inactivity to employment Workers with work-limiting conditions are not leaving the workforce at higher rates than in the past Recent increases in the number of workers moving into inactivity with work-limiting conditions (slide 7) are due to the growing prevalence of work-limiting health conditions, not rising exit rates. [...] *Based on previous analysis from Resolution Foundation (2016), the penalty for long-term inactivity is the ratio of (a) the rate of employment re- entry for those who left within the past year to (b) the rate of employment re-entry for those who left more than one year ago People out of work for longer have lower chances of moving into work, especially if they have work-limiting conditions Annual. [...] *Based on previous analysis from Resolution Foundation (2016), the penalty for long-term inactivity is the ratio of (a) the rate of employment re- entry for those who left within the past year to (b) the rate of employment re-entry for those who left more than one year ago Employment re-entry rates vary over time but remain much lower for people out of work for over a year (1/2) Across 2014 to 202. [...] This profile, combined with the likelihood of returning to work, shows the scale of the challenge in reducing economic inactivity for people with work-limiting health conditions.
