abstract: 'Forming part of a larger project on how disabled people exercise active
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
citizenship in nine European countries, this study examined factors that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enhance or hamper disabled peoples'' opportunities to participate fully
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and on equal terms with others in the domain of work. Twenty-six,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender-balanced life course interviews with persons living in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Switzerland and representing four impairment groups and three age
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cohorts were conducted. Applying qualitative content analysis, we found
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that over the entire work life course environmental factors such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
support structures and attitudes were most salient (as compared to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
personal factors and impairment effects), and that facilitating and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impeding factors cut across impairment groups and age cohorts. To
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
achieve parity of participation and to enhance people with disabilities''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
active citizenship and opportunities to access, and flourish in, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market, society has to both recognize their rights and provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sufficient economic resources to remove existing barriers.Points of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interest Having a paid job is an important aspect and sign of a person''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social participation and inclusion. We collected personal stories of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabled people living in Switzerland to identify the barriers and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
support they experienced in finding and maintaining a suitable paid job.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the barriers identified were environmental and could have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
addressed by workplace adjustments and policy changes. The diversity of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the disabled interviewees was reflected in the barriers and support they
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experienced. However, the presence or absence of support from family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
members, job counsellors, employers and work colleagues played an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important role across different types of disabilities. Recognizing and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understanding the barriers that disabled people experience with regard
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to paid employment will help to develop appropriate social responses and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual strategies for self-help.'
