[...] For example, 14.9% of working-age people with intellectual disabilities are 55 to 64 years, compared with 14.8% of people without disabilities but 34.5% of others with disabilities (Table 2). [...] In contrast, 29.3% of people with intellectual disabilities are 15 to 24 years compared with only 6.7% of others with disabilities but 20.9% of people without disabilities. [...] While 43.3% with intellectual disabilities have needs in this area that are fully met compared with 32.4% of others with disabilities, 45.6% with intellectual disabilities have some level of unmet need, with 39.7% receiving some help and 5.9% receiving none of the help needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Purpose Enterprises: Case Studies for Social Change presents case studies of twelve organizations that operate in a growing niche within the Canadian social economy: market-based entities supported by a nonprofit organization and operated for the benefit of a workforce who lives on the margins of society. Using a variety of research methods, the contributors examine the work of social purpose enterprises in a range of businesses including food services, child care, furniture, courier services, and microfinance. Combining the experience of academics and practitioners, each chapter analyses the economic, social, and policy implications of the case. Building on research published in Researching the Social Economy (2010) and Businesses with a Difference (2013), Social Purpose Enterprises provides a valuable resource for those involved in the growing push to encourage market-based solutions for those on the social margins.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD) have been marginalized in Ontario. One way to promote community integration, inclusion and belonging for adults with IDD is through paid employment. The purpose of this study is: (1) to gain insight into agreements and discrepancies between employees with IDD and employers on their employment experiences, and (2) to use these results to examine what the potential consistencies, inconsistencies, affordances and constraints are when employing a person with IDD and being an employee with IDD. The study was done using grounded theory and its qualitative analysis process and was approached through a constructivist orientation. The research questions are: (1) What are the consistencies and inconsistencies between employees with IDD and inclusive employers' perceptions of hiring someone with IDD? (2) How open are businesses who claim corporate social responsibility due to hiring people with IDD? (3) What does meaningful employment mean to employees with IDD and inclusive employers? Three employees with IDD and three employers were interviewed using a semi-structured format. The two main findings from each group are: (1) Employees described their job experiences in terms of stressors, enhancers, and joys and benefits. (2) Employers' experience was described in terms of awareness of supports, benefits, and advocacy; and attitudes towards employees. The results included that employees with IDD and employers displayed consistencies (stressful situations, benefits and enhancers on the job and valued punctuality) and inconsistencies (based on skills and co-worker relations). Businesses who claim corporate social responsibility and display authentic, anti-tokenistic behaviours are more likely to hire more adults with IDD in the workplace. Finally, meaningful employment is subjectively understood, but is consistent amongst employees with IDD and inclusive employers.

Book excerpt: Federal, provincial and local programs for Canadians with disabilities are, says Prince, "a disjointed patchwork of widely varying practices and uneven accessibility, affordability and respon- siveness." This situation is in good part the result of policy choices made by the federal government over the past, such as the transfer - starting in the late 1990s - of the employment insurance funds for [...] The measures included, under the Canadian Human Rights Act, adding the duty of work accommodation for people with disabilities; under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adding equality rights, with specific mention of people with physical and mental disabilities; and employment equity legis- lation for four designated groups, one of which was people with disabilities. [...] Other measures promoting the participation of disabled persons in the workforce were the five-year National Strategy for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities, new employment equity legislation with mandatory elements and the pilot launch of the Opportunities Fund for People with Disabilities. [...] The trend of devolution most relevant to employment and people with disabi- lities involves the transfer of employment insurance part II, programming and design, to the provinces and territories. [...] Innovations in income support directed at workers and employment for people with disabilities include the introduction of the EI compassionate benefit, the earnings exemption and automatic reinstatement rules in the Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPPD) program, and the Working Income Tax Benefit, which also has a disability supplement.1 The 2014 federal budget announced a new generation of LMAPDs.
Download or read book About Canada Disability Rights written by Deborah Stienstra and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-26T00:00:00Z with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including people with disabilities fully into Canadian society, with the rights enjoyed by non-disabled people, requires a fundamental social transformation, not simply “fixing” some bodies. It requires deep changes in the attitudes, cultural images and policies that make people with disabilities invisible, set them aside, undermine or reject their contributions and value, and justifies their neglect, abuse and death. This shift involves the simple recognition and honouring of the dignity, autonomy and rights of all people, including those who experience disabilities. In the second edition of About Canada: Disability Rights, Deborah Stienstra explores the historical and current experiences of people with disabilities in Canada, as well as the policy and advocacy responses to these experiences. Stienstra demonstrates that disability rights enable people with disabilities to make decisions about their lives and future, claim rights on their own behalf, and participate actively in all areas of Canadian society. Disability rights can and does increase access to and inclusion in critical areas like education, employment, transportation, telecommunications and health care. Additionally, Stienstra identifies new approaches and practices, such as universal design, disability supports and income supports, that can transform Canadian society to be more inclusive and accommodating for everyone.
