Abstract: "This article presents a description of the employment statistics of severely disabled people (BsbM) a unique administrative firm database of the German Federal Employment Agency. The data is collected as part of the process of administrating firm compliance with the disabled worker quota. This article examines the development of firms’ compliance with the disability quota over time and identifies factors associated with a higher likelihood of compliance. It also highlights the research opportunities offered by the dataset and its potential for further refinement." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
