| description | The United Nations has expressed that every person should have access to paid work. However, people with disabilities appear to be structurally disadvantaged as they are 50 % less often employed compared to people without disabilities. All kind of barriers and hindrances in society and the labour market put them at a disadvantage. This entry describes these barriers, focusing primarily on organizational aspects, and the measures that are available that should help to overcome these barriers. The current tendency of jobs becoming more demanding and homogeneous makes the threshold of entering the labour market even higher, and make it more difficult for a large group of people to find employment. A solution might be to use job (re)design to create jobs of different levels of complexity, and requiring different levels of competencies. This might also help to address some organizational needs, like reducing sickness absence. |
