Description
Working Futures? explores the effectiveness and future scope for enabling policy in the field of disability and employment. By examining current strengths and weaknesses, it asks whether the dichotomy between 'work for those who can' and 'support for those who cannot' is suitable for the lives of disabled people.
The book analyses recent policy initiatives, including the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Draft Disability Bill, benefits system, New Deal for Disabled People, job retention policy, comparative disability policy, and the role of the voluntary sector. It brings together a range of perspectives from academics, NGOs, the OECD, and the disabled peoples' movement to inform debates on disabled people's working futures.
Written by experts in disability studies and policy, this book is aimed at academics, students, and professionals working with or for disabled people, as well as those interested in welfare and social inclusion policies. It provides a comprehensive analysis of current policy and its implications for the future of work and support for disabled individuals.
