The Disability Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against people with disabilities in employment, including recruitment, terms and conditions of employment, and dismissal or termination.
In many developed countries around the world a debate has moved beyond a concern about the cost of maintaining dependent people with a disability to the struggle to find effective ways of ensuring people with a disability can participate in and contribute to society in all aspects of life.
This Disabled World category on disability employment is intended to provide a convenient entry point for resources on equal employment opportunity and disability, as well as links to resources from other worldwide employment organizations and agencies, including websites for persons with disabilities looking for work, disability job vacancies, and jobs working from home.
One such online employment service, insightintodiversity.com, is a leading national equal opportunity employment magazine and website that connects employers to professionals who are seeking jobs, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, sexual preference or disability. For more than 30 years, Insight into Diversity has provided progressive businesses and institutions with a forum to find employees who represent the dynamic kaleidoscope of our country’s population. Visit www.insightintodiversity.com/ to learn more.
Please let Disabled World know if you are aware of other resources which should be referred to or if there are materials on employment you would like to see available on our website.
Our disability employment categories by country can be found in the right hand menu, while general job articles are listed below.
