Abstract: In this paper, I examine the reasons for high rates of part‐time employment among disabled workers in the UK. Evidence from the Labour Force Survey suggests that part‐time employment provides an important way of accommodating a work‐limiting disability rather than reflecting marginalization of the disabled by employers. Differences in part‐time employment within the disabled group are also examined.
