Chapter Chapter 1 in Disability and Employment, 2024, pp 1-10 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This introductory chapter highlights the importance of the issue of providing employment opportunities for people with disabilities. It also notes the need for a deeper understanding of the disability‒employment relationship. It is a reality that more than one-tenth of the world’s population has a disability and people with disabilities are often deprived of their rightful chances to have a job and live life to the fullest. To address this state of affairs, Article 27 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and Target 8.5 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were introduced by the United Nations. Despite these efforts, people with disabilities still face difficulties in obtaining employment in the labour market.
