abstract: 'This paper evaluates the effectiveness of disability employment policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in assisting people with psychiatric disability to find, or return to,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paid work. We argue that the poor employment outcomes from current
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
programs establish the need for a paradigmatic shift in the form of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
state-provided Job Guarantee (JG) for people with psychiatric
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disability. In the absence of measures to generate suitable jobs,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
forthcoming changes to the eligibility criteria for Disability Support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pension will create risks rather than opportunities. Under the JG, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Federal Government would maintain a `buffer stock'' of minimum wage,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
public sector jobs to provide secure paid employment for this highly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantaged group. The role of the state in this alternative model is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
two fold. First, the state must provide the quantum of JG jobs required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second, the state must ensure the design of jobs is flexible enough to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
meet the heterogeneous and variable support needs of workers. This will
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
require effective integration of the JG scheme with mental health,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rehabilitation and employment support services.'
