Despite international and national guarantees of equal rights,
there remains a great deal to be done to achieve global employment
equality for individuals with disabilities. In OECD countries, the
employment rate of persons with disabilities was just over 40%,
compared to 75% for persons without a disability; in many low- and
middle-income countries, the employment rates are even lower. There
are numerous reasons why persons with disabilities fare poorly in
the labor market; Disability and Equity at Work is the first book
to document what can be done to improve this imbalance. Chapters in
this volume address all relevant facets of this topic and include:
* Extensive examination of the factors contributing to inequitable
access to work among persons with disability * Analysis of the
economic benefits of increasing employment equity * Successful
employment strategies at every stage of a worker's career *
Evidence-based recommendations and in-depth case studies of
innovative policies and programs around the world Chapter
contributors include leaders from international organizations,
government, civil society, and academia, including experts from UN
agencies, leaders in nongovernmental advocacy and research
organizations, and senior academics in the field. Disability and
Equity at Work fills a needed gap that will appeal to those
interested in and engaged in public policy, global health, equal
rights, business, labor, and other fields.
