abstract: 'Purpose:Persons with a developmental disability have the lowest rate of
labour force participation relative to other disabilities. The widening
gap between the labour force participation of persons with versus
without disability has been an enduring concern for many governments
across the globe, which has led to policy initiatives such as labour
market activation programs, welfare reforms, and equality laws. Despite
these policies, persistently poor labour force participation rates for
persons with developmental disabilities suggest that this population
experiences pervasive barriers to participating in the labour force.
Materials and methods:In this study, a two-phase qualitative research
design was used to systematically identify, explore and prioritize
barriers to employment for persons with developmental disabilities,
potential policy solutions and criteria for evaluating future policy
initiatives. Incorporating diverse stakeholder perspectives, a Nominal
Group Technique and a modified Delphi technique were used to collect and
analyze data. Results:Findings indicate that barriers to employment for
persons with developmental disabilities are multi-factorial and policy
solutions to address these barriers require stakeholder engagement and
collaboration from multiple sectors. Conclusions:Individual,
environmental and societal factors all impact employment outcomes for
persons with developmental disabilities. Policy and decision makers need
to address barriers to employment for persons with developmental
disabilities more holistically by designing policies considering
employers and the workplace, persons with developmental disabilities and
the broader society. Findings call for cross-sectoral collaboration
using a Whole of Government approach.'
