The <strong>Fit</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Work</strong> study has looked across a range of <strong>Europe</strong>an countries, Australia, New<br />
Zealand, Canada and Japan. This approach allows us to explore how far early intervention is<br />
implemented across the world. It also enables us to see how far we may identify both enablers<br />
and barriers to early intervention given the different approaches to policies that affect the labour<br />
market, the welfare system and the health care system. To explore this we have looked widely<br />
