abstract: 'A major public policy problem is the extremely low labor force
participation of people with severe mental illness coupled with their
overrepresentation on the public disability rolls. This situation is
especially troubling given the existence of evidence-based practices
designed to return them to the labor force. This article reviews
research from the fields of disability, economics, health care, and
labor studies to describe the nature of barriers to paid work and
economic security for people with disabling mental disorders. These
barriers include low educational attainment, unfavorable labor market
dynamics, low productivity, lack of appropriate vocational and clinical
services, labor force discrimination, failure of protective legislation,
work disincentives caused by state and federal policies, poverty-level
income, linkage of health care access to disability beneficiary status,
and ineffective work incentive programs. The article concludes with a
discussion of current policy initiatives in health care, mental health,
and disability. Recommendations for a comprehensive system of services
and supports to address multiple barriers are presented. These include
access to affordable health care, including mental health treatment and
prescription drug coverage; integrated clinical and vocational services;
safe and stable housing that is not threatened by changes in earned
income; remedial and post-secondary education and vocational training;
benefits counseling and financial literacy education; economic security
through asset development; legal aid for dealing with employment
discrimination; peer support and self-help to enhance vocational
self-image and encourage labor force attachment; and active involvement
of U.S. business and employer communities.'
