Abstract: Labor market insertion of disabled workers in Romania is considerably lower than those of workers with a normal health condition. The aim of our study was to focus only on the unemployment spells and exit states of disabled individuals. The empirical analysis is based on a micro-data set of 3335 completed unemployment spells of disabled subjects registered with the National Agency for Employment Romania. Using a non-parametric estimation of survival function and a semi-parametric Cox proportional hazard model in a competing risks framework we estimated the effect of different covariates (gender, age, education, urban/rural area of living, region of living, marital status, unemployment allowance, previous work experience and start year of spell) for the unemployment spells and exit destinations.
