Labor market marginalisation and Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with an increased risk of adverse employment outcomes, yet knowledge about the factors influencing labor market participation among individuals with ASD remains limited. This project aims to identify risk factors for labor market marginalization, evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacological treatments in preventing work-related exclusion, and explore workplace accommodations that may support sustainable employment for individuals with ASD.
Aim
The overall aim of the project is to characterise risk factors of LMM in individuals with ASD. Furthermore, we intend to estimate the effectiveness of specific pharmacotherapies in preventing LMM, and through qualitative interview data examine work accommodations that can help these individualsto have a sustainable working life.
