Book Synopsis The Changing Disability Policy System by : Rune Halvorsen
Download or read book The Changing Disability Policy System written by Rune Halvorsen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being an ‘active citizen’ involves exercising social rights and duties, enjoying choice and autonomy, and participating in political decision-making processes which are of importance for one’s life. Amid the new challenges facing contemporary welfare states, debate over just how ‘active’ citizens can and ought to be has redoubled. Presenting research from the first major comparative and cross-national study of active citizenship and disability in Europe, this book analyses the consequences of ongoing changes in Europe – what opportunities do persons with disabilities have to exercise Active Citizenship? The Changing Disability Policy System: Active Citizenship and Disability in Europe Volume 1 approaches the conditions for Active Citizenship from a macro perspective in order to capture the impact of the overall disability policy system. This system takes diverse and changing forms in the nine European countries under study. Central to the analysis are issues of coherence and coordination between three subsystems of the disability policy system, and between levels of governance. This book identifies the implications and policy lessons of the findings for future disability policy in Europe and beyond. It will appeal to policymakers and policy officials, as well as to researchers and students of disability studies, comparative social policy, international disability law and qualitative research methods.

Book Synopsis Understanding the Lived Experiences of Persons with Disabilities in Nine Countries by : Rune Halvorsen
Download or read book Understanding the Lived Experiences of Persons with Disabilities in Nine Countries written by Rune Halvorsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades, a number of reforms have taken place in European social policy with an impact on the opportunities for persons with disabilities to be full and active members of society. The policy reforms have aimed to change the balance between citizens’ rights and duties and the opportunities to enjoy choice and autonomy, live in the community and participate in political decision-making processes of importance for one’s life. How do the reforms influence the opportunities to exercise Active Citizenship? This volume presents the findings from the first cross-national comparison of how persons with disabilities reflexively make their way through the world, pursuing their own interests and values. The volume considers how their experiences, views and aspirations regarding participation vary across Europe. Based on retrospective life-course interviews, the volume examines the scope for agency on the part of persons with disabilities, i.e. the extent to which men and women with disabilities are able to make choices and pursue lives they have reasons to value. Drawing on structuration theory and the capability approach, the volume investigates the opportunities for exercising Active Citizenship among men and women in nine European countries. The volume identifies the policy implications of a process-oriented and multi-dimensional approach to Active Citizenship in European disability policy. It will appeal to policymakers and policy officials, as well as to researchers and students of disability studies, comparative social policy, international disability law and qualitative research methods.

Book Synopsis The Mobility and Integration of People with Disabilities Into the Labour Market by :
Download or read book The Mobility and Integration of People with Disabilities Into the Labour Market written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study assesses the situation of people with disabilities within the European Union and the impact of the measures used to increase their employment. People with disabilities face low employment rates, a high dependency on benefits as well as increased poverty risk. Two types of measures exist to reinforce the social inclusion of disabled people: passive measures (cash benefits) and active measures (active labour market policies). Non-discrimination legislation and policy play an important part within the integration process of the European Union. It is argued that there is a need for an effective implementation and enforcement of the principle of non-discrimination. In addition, disability should be addressed from a broader scope by focusing on remaining or partial work capacity rather than work incapacity. Therefore, a right balance between flexibility on the one hand and security on the other hand is needed. The objective of promoting independent living for disabled people should be included as an explicit priority in the next Disability Action Plan.

Book Synopsis Activating the Unemployed by : Neil Gilbert
Download or read book Activating the Unemployed written by Neil Gilbert and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade has witnessed a conspicuous alteration in policies protecting unemployed people in modern welfare states. Social policies are increasingly designed to encourage economic independence. Policy makers have introduced a wide range of reforms linking disability, unemployment, and welfare programs cash benefits to work-oriented measures. Welfare policies are being framed by a new emphasis on recipients' obligations, emphasizing that the receipt of benefits creates a responsibility to take action towards becoming self-reliant. The objective is to minimize the duration of dependence or improve the well-being of family or community. Activating the Unemployed addresses this growing interest in work-oriented measures. This represents a shift in the dominant discourse on social welfare from focus on the citizen's rights to social benefits to emphasis on their responsibilities to work and lead an active life. In this volume, a distinguished array of international contributors provide cross-cultural perspectives to analyze recent diverse policy initiatives to activate the unemployed in nine countries-Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. Each provides a systematic account of the background, design, implementation, and results of employment-oriented measures. Collectively they permit comparison of organized responses to common problems in the areas of public assistance (welfare), unemployment, and disability, among others. Further chapters seek to broaden perspectives on policy options, the issues raised, and lessons learned in the course of activating the unemployed. This thorough and insightful account addresses significant contemporary issues and concerns about welfare, social security, and unemployment. It will aid policy makers, professionals, and scholars in assessing current trends in welfare in various countries throughout the world. Neil Gilbert is Chernin Professor of Social Services and Social Welfare at the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of the Center for Comparative Study of Family Welfare and Poverty Research. Dr. Gilbert served as a Senior Research Fellow for the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development in Geneva and was twice awarded Fulbright Fellowships to study European social policy. His numerous publications include 22 books and 100 articles that have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, The Public Interest, Society, Commentary, and other leading academic journals.

Book Synopsis Disability and Labour Market Integration by :
Download or read book Disability and Labour Market Integration written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines policy developments in EU Member States aimed at supporting the inclusion of people with disabilities in the open labour market, with a particular focus on the three stages of entering into employment, staying in the job and returning to work after an absence. It explores the mechanisms and effectiveness of more than 150 different policy measures designed to address the dimensions in place in the EU before the COVID-19 pandemic: job creation, labour supply, labour demand and contextual factors. In addition, it provides an updated analysis of early policy measures created in the wake of the pandemic that aimed to support the labour market situation of people with disabilities. A country case study on Ireland complements the study by outlining the complexity of disability and support systems from a broader perspective. The report builds on the lessons learned and provides policy pointers to improve the integration of people with disabilities into the open labour market.
Book Synopsis Get a Job! Active Labour Market Policies and Persons with Disabilities in Danish and European Union Policy by : Lisa Waddington
Download or read book Get a Job! Active Labour Market Policies and Persons with Disabilities in Danish and European Union Policy written by Lisa Waddington and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing the overall level of employment is a goal of the Europe 2020 strategy and Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) have become a key tool used by the European Union and its Member States with a view to increasing employment. This article examines the use of ALMPs, with a special focus on their use with regard to persons with disabilities. The employment rate of persons with disabilities is significantly below that of persons without disabilities, and ALMPs have been seen as a way of addressing the high levels of unemployment experienced by this group. The article explores what ALMPs mean in the context of persons with disabilities and takes Denmark as a case study to explore the use of a particular set of ALMPs to promote the employment of persons with disabilities. Denmark is of particular interest because it has undertaken significant reforms of its labour market policy in recent years and placed a particular emphasis on ALMPs, including with regard to persons with disabilities. The article examines ALMPs in general as well as ALMPs which can be directed at persons with disabilities. The article provides an overview of ALMPs in Denmark which target persons with disabilities, with a special focus on the latest reform to the Danish wage subsidy system directed at workers with a disability. The article examines evidence on the effectiveness of ALMPs and assesses the effect the Danish ALMPs reforms have had on persons with disabilities and the benefits and risks that such policies entail.

Book Synopsis Disability and Labour Market Integration by : Ágota Scharle
Download or read book Disability and Labour Market Integration written by Ágota Scharle and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe today, a large share of the population suffers from a disability and consequently many people continue to be excluded from the labour market; this exclusion can mean that people are either held back from accessing a job or they experience difficulties in finding and retaining a job. Moreover, the number of people who suffer from a disability that constrains their ability to work, exceeds the number of jobseekers in most EU Member States (Eurostat 2011). Although there is some evidence that the prevalence of health problems improved (or at least stagnated) in most EU Member States until 2008, this trend turned during the global financial crisis, and in several Member States, the recent rise was especially marked among youth (OECD 2015). Disability exists on a continuum, ranging from minor to severe and multiple disabilities. In particular, Eurostat data shows that severe disabilities affect only a small share of the working age population. About 72 % of people with disabilities do not have a severe limitation in daily activities due to a health problem and about 75 % do not need assistance in their daily activities. In this this paper the focus will be on the large majority of the population with disabilities who are capable of working in the open labour market and can potentially benefit from PES services. Against this background, this paper aims to review recent policy initiatives supporting the labour market integration of people with a disability, focusing on measures implemented by public employment services (PES). It builds on a previous paper produced under the European Commission’s PES to PES Dialogue programme that explored the causes of and possible solutions to the rising incidence of disability (EC 2013).
