PATHWAYS PROJECT
The question why people with chronic diseases experience difficulties
is crucial to plan strategies and interventions to increase their
participation in the labour force.
This question was addressed in studies showing that employment
problems among chronically ill persons are not only
impairment-related, but also connected to socio-demographic
and psychological factors, attitudes and beliefs, disclosure, job
demands, organizational factors and macro-economic factors
Despite the evidence on the substantial negative impact of
chronic diseases on employment, the framework of
employment needs of people with chronic diseases is not
always clear

Employmen rates are still very low for people with
chronic and mental diseases
Cancer survivors are 1.4 times more likely to be
unemployed that healthy people (De Boer et al.2011)
20-30% of workers with mental disorders experience
recurrent sickness absence (Arends et al. 2013)
25% of young people with disabilities find work, only
9%retain at work for >12 months ( Holwerda et al 2013)
PATHWAYS PROJECT
Legal framework of chronically ill individuals and employment (1/2)
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Art. 23.1: “everyone has the right to work, to free choice of
employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to
protection against unemployment”.
Art. 25.1: “everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate
for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, (…) and
the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness,
disability (…) or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond
his
UN control”.
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
As stated by art. 27 (Work and Employment) of the UN Convention
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the right to work
applies to people with disabilities, defined in art. 1 through a broad
definition of disability that includes persons with chronic diseases.

PATHWAYS PROJECT
Legal framework of chronically ill individuals and employment (2/2)
The Luxembourg Declaration on Workplace Health Promotion in the
European Union states that “Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) is the
combined efforts of employers, employees and society to improve the
health and well-being of people at work” . This can be achieved by
improving the work organisation and the working environment, promoting
active participation, and encouraging personal growth.
Multiple definitions for disability are used that include access to benefits,
services and to employment. Chronic illness is rarely defined separately.
Thus, it seems very important to extend the research and monitor the legal
frameworks in European and extra-European countries.
PATHWAYS, on the one hand, will contribute to the description
of the existing legal framework of chronic disease in the
European countries and on the other hand it will develop
guidelines that can be translated in new legislative indications.

Many pathways: which direction?
PATHWAYS PROJECT
Persons with chronic diseases often encounter work-related problems,
such as unemployment, absenteeism, reduced productivity, and
stigmatization in the workplace. The rising prevalence of chronic
diseases and the current period of economic crisis make these problems
even more serious.
In response to these issues, that have negative consequences at
individual, national and European levels, PATHWAYS aims to
a) identify existing integration and re-integration strategies
in the workplace
b) determine their effectiveness
c) assess the employment-related needs of persons with
chronic diseases and mental disorders, so to identify gaps in
services tailored to them
d) develop policy recommendations to improve European
strategies for integration and reintegration into the
workplace.

Aims and objectives of the Project
Specific objectives
1.Mapping of available professional integration and
reintegration strategies for people with chronic diseases
and mental disorders in Europe
2.To critically assess the level of evidence for the
effectiveness of integration and re-integration into work
strategies current available in Europe
3.To examine specific employment needs of people with
chronic diseases: gaps and unmet needs
4.To create guidelines supporting the implementation of
available
effective
professional
integration
and
reintegration strategies for people with chronic diseases in
the broader European context

Expected Outcomes
The final outcome of PATHWAYS project will be the
development of guidelines supporting the implementation of
strategies to improve the employment situation of persons
with chronic diseases, taking into account the knowledge
acquired in the different phases regarding the availability
of strategies, the users of these services, their
effectiveness, and the met and unmet employment needs of
persons with chronic diseases.
Together, these guidelines will provide a comprehensive
overview of the steps that need to be taken to improve the
employment situation of persons with chronic diseases and
mental disorders in Europe, supporting policy makers in
their decision-making processes.

PATHWAYS PROJECT
Expected Outcomes
The involvement of relevant stakeholders and
employers will facilitate the transferability of the
strategies in the workplaces and will guarantee
that they match employees’ needs. The policy
recommendations will give clear and concrete
directions, so that governments can make
choices towards a better and wider participation
of people with chronic disease in the labour
market.

PATHWAYS PROJECT
A PATHWAYS final conference will
conclude the project, presenting the
results to the scientific community, policy
makers, advocacy groups and other
relevant stakeholders, in order to provide
them with a complete framework of the
existing situation and also of the ways to
implement services and develop new kind
of interventions.

PATHWAYS PROJECT
In sum, PATHWAYS will meet the 2.1.1.3 priority
of the 2014 Work Program, by harmonizing
available
information
on
integration
and
reintegration strategies and their effectiveness,
identifying the users of such services and their
employment-related needs, discovering potential
gaps and problems in any of these areas, and
providing specific policy recommendations for
developing EU-level policies and legislation
aimed to improve the employment situation of
persons with chronic diseases in Europe.
