The Principle of Demand-Side in Employment for Persons with Disabilities

Webinar

Description:

This webinar will discuss the need to systematically understand demand characteristics for qualified workers with disabilities, particularly as work requirements change over time. This project sets out scientifically rigorous and evidence-based methods to develop, identify, and evaluate employment demand-side models.

The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of the concept of demand-side employment and job placement for people with disabilities. Specifically, we will review recent research related to attitudes toward people with disabilities and people from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds, analysis of workplace discrimination based on Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) data, and surveys of employers’ perspective on the employment of people with disabilities. We will discuss how this information can be use to formulate targeted strategies and policies for increasing employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
