abstract: 'Purpose. Having a disability is a barrier to securing and maintaining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. Most research has focussed on employment barriers among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adults, while very little is known about young people''s experience
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
finding paid work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method. Young people aged 15-24 were selected from the 2006
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Participation and Activity Limitation Survey to explore the barriers and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrimination they experienced in seeking employment (n = 1898).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results. Our findings show that teens and young adults with disabilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
encountered several barriers and discrimination in seeking paid
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. The types of barriers that these young people encountered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
varied by age and type of disability. There were fewer yet different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
types of barriers to working that were encountered between the two age
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups (teens and young adults). Several socio-demographic factors also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
influenced barriers to working. Severity of disability, type and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
duration of disability, level of education, gender, low income,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
geographic location and the number of people living in the household all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
influenced the kind of barriers and work discrimination for these young
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions. Rehabilitation and life skills counsellors need to pay
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particular attention to age, type of disability and socio-demographic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
factors of teens and young adults who may need extra help in gaining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment.'
