Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly three decades after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), people with disabilities continue to be significantly underrepresented in the American Labor force. This loss of talent to U.S. organizations and restriction of opportunities for millions of workers have broader implications for civil society. People denied access to the workforce are limited in their ability to contribute to the economy and to their communities, heightening their reliance on public support systems and reducing the number of people participating in community life. This LERA volume focuses on the employment of individuals with disabilities. Its purpose is to review the current employment situation for Americans with disabilities, place it in the context of the U.S. regulatory system, describe current issues, identify ways that employers are approaching possible remediation of these issues, and identify emerging concerns and opportunities. A multi-disciplinary team of researchers and practitioners provide a broad-based overview of related issues, approaches, and opportunities. This volume will be useful to a wide array of professionals, including labor and employment relations attorneys and specialists; human resource, diversity and inclusion, and equal employment opportunity professionals; as well as organizational leaders, managers, and supervisors who are seeking to improve employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities both here and abroad.

This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employment is one of the most important aspects of the lives of the persons with or without disabilities. At this contemporary age, the work is not only a basic source of income for most families; it is also a form of social connection and status in the community. It is the most effective way to improve the well-being of the individuals, their families and communities. Work provides not only economic satisfaction but it also gives the sense of identity, accomplishment and meaning to a person. It is central to individual identity, social roles and social status. Employment and socioeconomic status are the main drivers of social gradients in physical health, mental health and mortality. Conversely, joblessness is harmful to physical and mental health . Employment can be a significant source of affiliation especially among people with disabilities. According to Schur employment helps people overcome the social isolation that often accompanies disability as well as lead to the development of civic skills that facilitate participation in a variety of community and political activities outside the workplace. It also has a significant impact in escalating the perception that people with disabilities receive equal respect and has equal influence in the political system, reflecting their greater sense of inclusion in mainstream society. Unemployment is associated with poor mental health and well-being. Disability status has a significant predictive effect on an inability to work. Thus, it's a vicious cycle of health, work and well being. Studies reflect that the attainment of education and participation in economic activity are extremely important for the empowerment of disabled population. Also, to overcome the exclusion, people with disabilities and their households must have access to and participation in market work or livelihoods and should break some of the circular links between disability and poverty . Moreover, for all persons in working age, employment is a key element towards combating poverty and to achieve social inclusion and participation in society. This applies equally to persons with disabilities. The people with disability should be encouraged and supported to work which not only will enhance their health & well-being it will also improve quality of life that contributes to life satisfaction for persons with disabilities.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major problem in stating the employment situation of people with disabilities is the lack of efficient statistical data. A worldwide survey analyzed the different approaches used in data collection, and the results show that countries mainly rely on population censuses and household surveys. Less than 50 per cent of these use the relevant international standards dealing with statistics on disability. Furthermore, the Washington City Group aims to develop a set of general disability measures by using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health which was issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). Overall, obtaining more effective statistics can improve the analysis of data concerning the employment of people with disabilities, and thus better suit their needs.

Download or read book The Future of Disability in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-24 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.

Download or read book Disability and the Displaced Worker written by Edward H. Yelin and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the employment of persons with disabilities has taken center stage in policy debates. The passage of the ADA could not have come at a more propitious time: the employment situation of persons with disabilities, particularly older workers, has been worsening dramatically for over two decades. In the traditional view, this worsening employment necessarily follows the aging of the population, which puts more of us at risk for chronic disease and impairment. Yelin does not agree with that view, nor with the alternative view that disability compensation programs entice persons with minimal disabilities to leave the work force by providing them with a secure income. In this controversial new book, Yelin dispels both these views and argues that the welfare state is not to be blamed for the growth in work disability. Rather, Yelin maintains that the growing work disability problem is due to the decline of manufacturing employment, which drove older workers with disabilities out of the labor force as part of a "first-fired" phenomenon. He links disability to changes in all forms of work that made secure full-time employment with a wide range of benefits a thing of the past. Yelin argues that work disability policy and industrial policy must be joined to create a heightened demand for older workers generally and older workers with disabilities in particular. When employers create work environments flexible enough to accommodate people with disabilities, they enjoy the benefits of an exceptionally skilled, able work force - and the economies of a smaller welfare system. Paradoxically, the products of flexible manufacturing have been very successful in the marketplace, demonstrating that what is good for workers with disabilities is also good for all workers and for the economy as a whole.
