A study looking at the effects of vocational rehabilitation on employment probabilities, as well as the factors influencing successful employment, in the United States.
|
|
It finds that the primary factors negatively correlated with sucessful employment were for women in the sample, for having mental illness or traumatic brain injury as the primary disability, having multiple disabilities, an interpersonal or self-care impediment and receiving social security benefits.
|
|
On the other hand, having participated in a youth-transition training programme, as well as making use of more vocational rehabilitation services, are correlated with an increased employment probability.
|
|
It thereby highlights the gendered dimension of employment probabilities and points to a necessity to focus training and rehabilitation efforts along multiple dimensions.
|
|
Some limitations of the study include its limited generalizability, having a sample located in a single state, as well as a dataest intended for service provision not academic pursuits possibly introducing unreliability in its data and not measuring service quality.
