abstract: 'Employment is an important way for persons with disabilities (PwDs) to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participate in society and fulfil their potential. However, despite the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impression that employment support for PwDs is improving, why is the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
actual employment situation in China stagnant or even worsening? In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
order to answer this question, this paper uses a qualitative study in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BTQ City, QL Province, China to analyze the causes of the general
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
problems in employment support for PwDs by breaking them down into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
official government, quasi-government, and primary support groups. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study finds that the prioritization of `economic development'' dominates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
people''s thinking and actions, to the detriment of social and economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
goals. Consequently, the responses of the three employment support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systems are: (a) an official government focus on ``productivism{''''}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
means PwDs employment is not a priority, and official support is usually
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``all talk, no action{''''}; (b) bureaucratic quasi-government
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
organizations are reluctant to assist beyond mere formalities to boost
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PwDs employment as this does not form part of their performance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assessment; and (c) individualism resulting from societal breakdown
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
makes the primary support group perceive a lack of benefit in assisting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PwDs, and any assistance they render is done purely out of self-interest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and are therefore unsustainable. We hope that the findings of this study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
will provide some inspiration and reference for improving the employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy of PwDs in China.'
