In 2018, disability pensions in France were paid to more than 800,000 people, totalling 7.6 billion euros. Looking at a single generation, 9 per cent of people are on disability benefits by the age of 61. Despite the scale of the scheme, there is little information available about its recipients: who are they? What are their employment histories? When did they become eligible for disability benefits?
