About Driven

What drives us

Driven aims to gain deeper insight into employment and education participation and mental health among deaf and hard-of-hearing people and people with visual impairments in the Netherlands.
To achieve this, the project make use of large-scale, pseudonymized administrative datasets, specifically microdata from Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

Data

We use administrative data available from Statistics Netherlands (CBS): not originally collected for research purposes.

Research

In our research we focus on labor market participation, education, and mental health for deaf and hard-of-hearing people and people with visual impairments.

Inclusion

Our goal is a labor market and mental healthcare that are accessible to all.

From data and research to inclusion

The project aims to uncover structural challenges and patterns related to access to sustainable employment, education, and mental well-being.

These insights are intended to strengthen inclusivity and to improve the support, care, and services available to these populations. Through ongoing research, Driven continues to explore emerging questions from the field, expand its data sources, and builds long-term registers to monitor trends over time.
