Disabled People, Work and Welfare: Is Employment Really the Answer? de Chris Grover

Disabled People, Work and Welfare: Is Employment Really the Answer?

Editat de Chris Grover, Linda Piggott
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2015
This is the first book to challenge the idea that paid work should be seen as an essential means to independence and self-determination for the disabled. Writing in the wake of attempts in many countries to increase the employment rates of disabled people, the contributors show how such efforts have led to an overall erosion of financial support for the disabled and increasing stigmatization of those who are not able to work. Drawing on sociology and philosophy, and mounting a powerful case for the rights of the disabled, the book will be essential for activists, scholars, and policy makers.

Recenzii

“Grover and Piggott offer a compelling challenge to those who view paid work as the only route out of poverty for disabled people. Their book should be essential reading for scholars of disability studies and social policy, and for policy makers interested in supporting disabled people.”
