Abstract
Employment for persons with disabilities
(PWDs) constitutes both a matter of personal survival and social equity, as
well as an issue of mutual acceptance. While the position-focused employment
philosophy centered on job opportunities and income has significantly boosted
PWDs 'employment rates, it has also revealed inherent limitations. First,
mismatches between PWDs' capabilities and job requirements create market barriers
to employment. Second, although placement policies have expanded employment
numbers, gaps persist in both job supply and demand beyond these statistics,
failing to meet the integration-oriented employment needs of PWDs. To address
these challenges, this paper proposes a disability-inclusive employment
framework, advocating for PWD employment as a vital institutional activity that
facilitates equal social interaction and shared societal benefits. It
synthesizes existing research and practical consensus, identifying notable
progress in transforming employment concepts, implementing inclusive services,
and adopting tiered support strategies. The study highlights beneficial
explorations in bridging professional institutions and social enterprises, as
well as leveraging technological tools to develop high-quality jobs and
assistive technologies. However, shortcomings remain in performance evaluation
systems, multi-channel service selection, and specialized technical
applications. In light of these findings, the paper proposes a comprehensive
solution and action framework for inclusive employment of PWDs. Under the new
framework of diversified support systems, integrated policies and services,
professional institutional initiatives, digital-era social opportunities, and
the interdependent cycle of education, rehabilitation, and employment, we must
dismantle institutional barriers to disability. This involves shifting from
passive exclusion to proactive inclusion, transforming individuals into active
participants. By exploring empowerment-based employment strategies tailored to
individual capabilities, people with disabilities can gain respect through
inclusive integration, thereby rebuilding dignity and better reintegrating into
families and society. This approach redefines social inclusion by addressing
the harsh realities of disability while establishing a people-centered
integration paradigm that embodies both theoretical logic and practical
feasibility.
