abstract: 'Purpose Having paid work, relationships and a choice of where to live
are common policy priorities for adults with intellectual disabilities.
The purpose of this paper is to compare outcomes with respect to these
three priorities between adults with intellectual disability and the
general population in Jersey. Design/methodology/approach Data were
collected from 217 adults with intellectual disability known to
services, and 2,350 adults without intellectual disability using a
stratified random sample. Data on employment, marital status and
accommodation profiles were compared. Findings In sum, 87 per cent of
adults with intellectual disability were currently single vs 16 per cent
of adults without intellectual disability; 23 per cent of working-age
adults with intellectual disability were in paid employment vs 92 per
cent of working-age adults without intellectual disability; and 57 per
cent of adults with intellectual disability lived-in sheltered housing
vs 2 per cent of adults without intellectual disability. Social
implications - Very few adults with intellectual disability are in paid
employment or intimate relationships, and the majority live in
sheltered, supported housing, with very few owning their own home. There
is a significant disconnect between policy and reality. Considerable
work is required to make an ordinary life the reality for adults with
intellectual disability. Originality/value This study adds to the body
of evidence that suggests people with intellectual disabilities are less
likely to experience an ordinary life. Furthermore, it illustrates that
despite Jersey being an affluent society, the same difficulties and
barriers exist there for persons with an intellectual disability as in
other jurisdictions.'
