This report has been prepared by the Nordic Welfare Centre (NVC), based on the Second Nordic Expert Seminar on Employment and Disability (Oslo, 19 April 2017). The seminar was funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers Committee of Senior Officials’ for Labour (EK-A), and was organised by NVC in cooperation with the Competence Centre for Work Inclusion (KAI) at the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences.
The primary objective of the seminar was to contribute with a professionally andscientifically-based perspective on disability issues to the work of the Nordic Council of Ministers Programme for Cooperation on Labour and Employment Issues 2018-2021. The programme for cooperation is to describe the Nordic countries’ principal challenges in the field of employment, and establish goals in the sub-areas: the labour market, working environment and labour law. The programme is scheduled to be adopted in the autumn of 2017.
