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 Disabled People Work and Welfare written by Grover, Chris and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to challenge the idea that paid work should be seen as an essential means to independence and self-determination for the disabled. Writing in the wake of attempts in many countries to increase the employment rates of disabled people, the contributors show how such efforts have led to an overall erosion of financial support for the disabled and increasing stigmatization of those who are not able to work. Drawing on sociology and philosophy, and mounting a powerful case for the rights of the disabled, the book will be essential for activists, scholars, and policy makers.
