Disabled People, (Re)Training and Employment: A Qualitative Exploration of Exclusion

Chapter 12 in Equality, Diversity and Disadvantage in Employment, 2001, pp 190-207 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Work is essential to all societies: it produces the means of sustaining life, and those excluded from work are also excluded from vital social relationships (Oliver, 1991). Despite concerted efforts by some employers to seek equality of opportunity for disabled people, and notwithstanding recent growth in technology as an enabling resource (Roulstone, 1998), criticism remains concerning high levels of unemployment for this particular social group (for example, Morrell, 1990; Oliver, 1991; Reynolds, 1994).
