Download or read book Employment and Disability written by Susanne M. Bruyère and published by Labor and Employment Research Association. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. 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.

Download or read book Post Narratology Through Computational and Cognitive Approaches written by Ogata, Takashi and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying narratives is an ideal method to gain a good understanding of how various aspects of human information are organized and integrated. The concept and methods of a narrative, which have been explored in narratology and literary theories, are likely to be connected with contemporary information studies in the future, including those in computational fields such as AI, and in cognitive science. This will result in the emergence of a significant conceptual and methodological foundation for various technologies of novel contents, media, human interface, etc. Post-Narratology Through Computational and Cognitive Approaches explores the new possibilities and directions of narrative-related technologies and theories and their implications on the innovative design, development, and creation of future media and contents (such as automatic narrative or story generation systems) through interdisciplinary approaches to narratology that are dependent on computational and cognitive studies. While highlighting topics including artificial intelligence, narrative analysis, and rhetoric generation, this book is ideally designed for designers, creators, developers, researchers, and advanced-level students.

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.

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.
