The high price of doing nothing: evaluating an expansion of employment support for health-related inactivity

Abstract

Employment support for those with mild-to-moderate health conditions is estimated to deliver large benefits to the individual and government finances, paying for itself within 5 years. This suggests enabling inactive individuals to self-refer into support could significantly reduce the economic and wellbeing costs of health-related inactivity in the UK. Employment support for those with severe mental health conditions is also estimated to deliver large benefits but at a higher cost, which may be justified due to the vulnerable nature of this population.
