In the second quarter of 2011, 6 million 556 thousand people aged 15-64 years (16.5% of the population of this age group) claim to be suffering from one or more longstanding health problems or functional difficulties.<\/p>\n

Health problems represent a barrier to the inclusion in the labour market. More than 50% of those suffering from more than one health problem or functional difficulties is inactive, this share decreases significantly among those who complain about one problem or difficulty (39.9%) and no problem (35.5%).<\/p>\n

38.9% (2 million and 549 thousand) of people who have health problems or functional difficulties declares to have limitations at work due by poor health conditions: one million 708 thousand people feel limited in the number of weekly working hours that they can work; 2 million 347 thousand in the type of work; approximately one million in getting to and from work.<\/p>\n

Nearly half of the inactive between 15 and 64 years with health problems or difficulties complains at least one functional limitation when carrying out a job caused by the own health status, compared to 28.5% of persons employed.<\/p>\n

Among persons employed who complain of poor health conditions, about one in 10 may rely on one or more types of assistance in their place of work: availability of special equipment or workplace adaptations, personal service, special working arrangements. Among people who do not have a job, however, more than a quarter (26.6%) would need to receive at least one type of assistance in order to work.<\/p>\n

Over a million and half people with health problems or functional difficulties (24.2% of the population aged 15-64 in the same conditions) reported having at least one limitation, different from health problems, when carrying out work. Among them, around one million people (30.5% of the population with the same characteristics) complain more than one health problems or functional difficulties, while 540,000 declare only one (17.3%). The share is much lower among people who do not report health problems: 2 million and 617 thousand individuals that represent 8.7% of the population aged 15-64 who do not report health problems.<\/p>\n
