To what extent are people with disabilities fully included in economic, political and social life? People with disabilities have faced a long history of exclusion, stigma and discrimination, but have made impressive gains in the past several decades. These gains include the passage of major civil rights legislation and the adoption of the 2006 UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This book provides an overview of the progress and continuing disparities faced by people with disabilities around the world, reviewing hundreds of studies and presenting new evidence from analysis of surveys and interviews with disability leaders. It shows the connections among economic, political and social inclusion, and how the experience of disability can vary by gender, race and ethnicity. It uses a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on theoretical models and research in economics, political science, psychology, disability studies, law and sociology.

The employment landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by technological innovations, shifting employer practices, and new government policies that redefine where and how work is performed. However, these transformations have not been universally beneficial. Future research is required to explore the potential disproportionate impact they might have on marginalized populations already excluded from the labor market.People with disabilities are one group who continue to have a low employment rate in the United States (U.S). They are also more likely than those without disabilities to work part-time or in precarious jobs with less job security, lower pay and benefits, and minimal worker protections. This volume of Research in Social Science and Disability brings together leading research that examines how systemic policies and practices, pandemic-driven transformations, and strategies for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) continue to shape the employment landscape for workers with disabilities.Disability and the Future of Work explores changing workplace dynamics and proposes strategies for fostering an inclusive and equitable future of work for people with disabilities.
