New Research Collection on Disability and Employment |
The collection provides a large body of facts and information
that we hope can help motivate increased rights and protections for people
with disabilities.

The collection highlights:
* Youth with disabilities transitioning from school into the workplace
* The effectivenes of one-stop centers and other government support systems
* The advantages for businesses employing PWD
* Strategies and tactics for employers to accommodate PWD
* The long term impact of un and under-employment on health and retirement
benefits for PWD
* The adequacy of workers compensation and disability prevention and
prevalence of late-career disability

Like a lot of other research on important social issues, this work was
widely scattered and required a bit of digging to unearth. Based on the
number of resource lists and related links pages we found, community groups,
advocates, and family members of people with disabilities are clearly
looking for solid information to inform their service work, advocacy, and
policy interventions.
We are pleased to bring this research into one easy-to-access collection
