Abstract: Employment needs of handicapped persons have increased in recent years as the handicapped population itself and public policy have begun to promote the integration of handicapped individuals into the mainstream of economic and social life. However, employment systems and policies for handicapped persons have not been responsive to the changing employment needs of handicapped persons. This article identifies the model factory system of Japan as one of the innovative approaches that deserve attention and investigates whether the approach is financially viable and economically efficient. Finally, some implications for employment systems and policies in the United States are presented.
