In many countries, a non-negligible percentage of the working-age population has impairments that also entail reduced work capacity, and disability retirement is increasing. Despite this, studies on the effects of policies aimed at enhancing the labour market inclusion among people with disabilities, such as targeted wage subsidies, are surprisingly few. In an attempt to fill this gap, we have studied how wage subsidies affect future labour market outcomes for jobseekers with disabilities, in terms of employment and disability retirement. By using inverse probability weighting applied to rich Swedish register data, we contrast participants in the wage subsidy program to observably similar non-participants during a 19-year period. We find that participation was associated with both positive and negative labour market outcomes. On the negative side, participants were less likely to have unsubsidised employment. On the positive side, leaving the labour market through the disability insurance program was somewhat less common among participants. Moreover, using a broader employment measure including subsidised jobs, the participants were found to be employed to a larger extent, which could be interpreted either as locking-in effects or as fostering labour market inclusion.

针对残疾求职者的工资补贴：随后的就业和残疾退休

在许多国家中，劳动年龄人口中不可忽略的一部分有损害，这也意味着工作能力下降，并且残疾退休人数正在增加。尽管如此，关于旨在提高残疾人在劳动力市场中的包容性的政策效果（如目标工资补贴）的研究却很少。为了填补这一空白，我们研究了工资补贴如何在就业和残疾退休方面影响残疾求职者未来的劳动力市场成果。通过使用适用于丰富的瑞典登记数据的逆概率加权，我们将工资补贴计划的参与者与在19年期间可观察到的相似非参与者进行了对比。我们发现参与与劳动力市场的积极和消极结果都有关系。在负面方面，参与者不太可能获得无补贴的工作。从积极的一面看，参加者通过残障保险计划离开劳动力市场在某种程度上并不常见。此外，使用包括补贴工作在内的更广泛的就业措施，发现参与者的就业范围更大，这可以解释为锁定效应或促进劳动力市场的包容性。
