Disabled workers are also more likely than non-disabled workers to be employed on a zero-hours contract. Again, this intersects with other labour market inequalities. Disabled BME women are the most likely to be on a ZHC - three times more likely than non-disabled white men.
Chart showing percentage of people in employment on a zero-hours contract by disability status, gender and ethnicity. 4.0 per cent of disabled workers are on ZHCs, compared to 2.9% of non-disabled workers. The percentages for the other groups on the chart are as follows. Disabled men: 3.7%. 	Non disabled men: 2.6%. Disabled women: 4.2%. Non-disabled women: 3.2%. Disabled white workers: 3.7%. Non-disabled white workers: 2.6%. Disabled BME workers: 6.3%. Non-disabled BME workers: 4.3%. Disabled white men: 3.5%. Non-disabled white men: 2.3%. Disabled BME men: 5.3%.
