Evidence: Supports both component rates and the resulting percentage-point gaps for the 11 ranked rows in 2024.
The observations are reported or nationally estimated and may carry statistical breaks or estimation flags. Disability definitions and survey coverage can differ across reporting countries.
Unemployment rates for people with and without disabilities are paired within each nation. Rows are ranked by the absolute gap, while the signed difference is the rate for people with disabilities minus the rate for people without disabilities.
Every component uses the same ILOSTAT indicator family, reporting period and percentage basis, and each gap compares matched values within one reporting entity.
