Interventions for career construction and work inclusion of individuals with disability

The chapter examines the difficulties that so many people-but especially those with disability-face in the current labour market. It argues that the contemporary labour market is characterised by major transformations that are often detrimental to job creation and individuals’ abilities to secure their livelihoods. While some of these transformations are due to the so-called fourth industrial revolution and to the developments in digital technology, the chapter also stresses that labour markets organised around the logic of neoliberalism represent a major threat to the well-being of citizens, and especially to the most vulnerable among them. Considering the implications that neoliberalism has on people with disability in particular, the chapter discusses the relevance of interventions that promote work inclusion, with examples of actions at the three inter-linked levels of broader political and policy activism at the macro level, advocacy at the institutional, meso level and empowerment at the individual and group micro level.
