Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities Revisited
Perspectives Reflected by the COVID-19 Pandemic
AvArie Rimmerman
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Two recent developments created a need for this book, the first is the ratification of the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in most of the countries. The convention clarifies the provisions of their social inclusion and rights for assistive technologies. The second development is the COVID-19 pandemic that has disrupted the lives of people around the world, and particularly people with disabilities. The restrictions imposed on the general public to save lives worsened the conditions of people with disabilities who experienced further deterioration of health outcomes, social exclusion, and discrimination. Social inclusion has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic as digital substantially replaced face-to-face communication. The digitalization has changed society and reconfigures social relationships, and thus the dynamics and climate of inclusion. Can digital inclusion compensate persons with disabilities for their social exclusion in virtual reality? The book discusses whether the pandemic changes the status of social inclusion of persons with disabilities. The book explores the roots of social inclusion/exclusion and current use of the term in respect to people with disabilities, the impact of COVID-19 on social inclusion of people with disabilities, and countries' policies to them during the pandemic and afterward. The core issue is regarding relationship between social and digital inclusion during the pandemic and afterward. This has been discussed in respect to persons with various disabilities living in developed and low-medium-income countries and children with disabilities.

Prospects for Employment of Persons with Disabilities in the Post-COVID-19 Era

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed the work landscape for employees with disabilities, leading to remote working, work-from-home, greater flexibility, and the increased use of digital technology. This resulted in substantial benefits for some workers with disabilities after the pandemic. The shift to digital and flexible work, however, was not accepted positively by all employers and exposed deep-seated inequalities and social exclusion. The pandemic widened the “digital divide,” and many people with disabilities experienced less accessibility to the necessary devices, connectivity, and digital skills compared to their non-disabled counterparts. In addition, workers with a disability were often concentrated in industries and occupations (e.g., cleaning services, food preparation) that were not conducive to remote work, limiting their ability to benefit from increased flexibility. This book compares the employment situation for people with disabilities in the UK and the US during and post pandemic and analyses the conditions in low-middle-income-countries (LMICs). It forecasts the future job market in the UK and the US and the potential of AI in employment of people with disabilities; AI could pose opportunities for future employment for people with disabilities but there would also be concerns over employers' prejudice and negative attitudes, and the availability of digital infrastructure and devices, particularly in low-middle-income countries.
Aging Veterans with Disabilities
A Cross-National Study of Policies and Challenges

The number of older war veterans receiving disability benefits is steadily growing and is predicted to rise in the next decade. This book provides comprehensive knowledge about health and psychosocial concerns of veterans aging with disabilities and unmet needs and compares policy in three countries that have been involved in massive warfare in the 20th century––the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US), and Israel. Using a cross-national comparative study of the policies, legislation and services provided by these three countries, which have significant numbers of aging disabled military veterans, this book provides evidence-based knowledge on the trajectories and attendant mental-health and psychosocial problems this sub-group faces when aging with a disability. It sheds light on the paradox in which most veterans with disabilities in the UK, USA and Israel are older, while the current legislation and budget target younger veterans with disabilities. The book reflects the current debate regarding the desired policy toward older veterans with disabilities in these countries and whether to provide them with proactive health services prior to retirement to prevent "accelerated aging". It also evaluates the dilemma of whether to serve aging veterans separately as a unique population or to provide them with the same services used by the general population.This book will be of interest to all academics and students working in disability studies, rehabilitation studies, gerontology, psychology, sociology, social work, social policy, and law more broadly.

Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities
National and International Perspectives

Social inclusion is often used interchangeably with the terms social cohesion, social integration and social participation, positioning social exclusion as the opposite. The latter is a contested term that refers to a wide range of phenomena and processes related to poverty and deprivation, but it is also used in relation to marginalised people and places. This book consists of two parts: the first aims to review the domestic and international historical roots and the conceptual base of disability, as well as the expressions of social exclusion of people with disabilities that interfere in their efforts to exercise their rights in society. It offers a comprehensive review of social and legal approaches to social exclusion and inclusion. The second part introduces and analyses domestic and international social and legal strategies to promote social inclusion for people with disabilities.
Family Policy and Disability

This book explores the status and scope of family policies related to households of children with disabilities, providing an in-depth, evidence-based review of legal, programmatic issues. It includes a discussion of the gaps between family needs and contemporary family policies in the United States and European countries, as demonstrated in these households' surveys. In addition, the volume offers a comparative analysis of cash benefits, tax credits and deductions, and in-kind provisions between the United States and select European countries (UK, France, and Sweden). Most importantly, this book identifies and continues the discussion regarding the critical role of family-centered policies, as expressed in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), as well as the future of family policy toward families of children with disabilities at a time of economic crisis.
Disability and Community Living Policies

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the roots of institutionalization, deinstitutionalization legislation and policies of the twentieth century, and twenty-first-century efforts to promote community living policies domestically and internationally, particularly through the role of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), a landmark treaty adopted on 13 December 2006. Rimmerman shows that deinstitutionalization and community living cannot be examined only in terms of the number of institutions closed but also through the substantial change in values, legislation, and policies supporting personalization, as well as the social participation of people with disabilities. The book includes a significant exploration of United States legislation and important Supreme Court decisions compared with European policies toward community living. Finally it discusses the importance of Articles 12 and 19 of the convention and demonstrates the case of Israel that has used the convention as a road map for proposing a new community living policy.
