The chapter examines the role of career guidance with children and youth with disabilities from a full-inclusion perspective. The analysis started with the description of global challenges, which define the coordinates that frame the contexts where persons and societies evolve, highlighting the effects of globalisation, technological progress, demographic change, flexibility, global financial crisis, and neoliberalism on the current job market. Then, based on Life Design paradigm and Positive Youth Development paradigm, the relevance of children’s career development was discussed and the need for career interventions in early childhood to offer growing opportunities for all children and youth was emphasised. Lastly, particular attention was given to examples of macro-, meso- and micro-level actions that can be implemented to promote children’s career guidance in an inclusive perspective.

Abstract
The chapter examines the role of career guidance with children and youth with disabilities from a full-inclusion perspective. The analysis started with the description of global challenges, which define the coordinates that frame the contexts where persons and societies evolve, highlighting the effects of globalisation, technological progress, demographic change, flexibility, global financial crisis, and neoliberalism on the current job market. Then, based on Life Design paradigm and Positive Youth Development paradigm, the relevance of children’s career development was discussed and the need for career interventions in early childhood to offer growing opportunities for all children and youth was emphasised. Lastly, particular attention was given to examples of macro-, meso- and micro-level actions that can be implemented to promote children’s career guidance in an inclusive perspective.
