Identifying improvable employment-related factors in schizophrenia patients

Employment in society is highly important for recovery in schizophrenia patients (Andreasen et  al., 2005; Schennach et al., 2012; Secker et al., 2001; Üçok et al., 2012). Schizophrenia patients face employment rates as low as 8 to 35% in various countries including Japan (Anthony et al., 1987; Brekke et al., 1993; Gaite et al., 2002; Marwaha et al., 2004; Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare 2010; Rogers et al., 1988). It is important to identify the factors critical to their employment.
