Our Activities :
An ILO Research Project: The Status of Training
and Employment in the Region
With the end of the
Decade of Disabled Persons, 1993-2002 and in anticipation of its
extension, the ILO initiated a 14-country research study. In most
countries, the ILO commissioned in-country consultants to complete
the study according to a prescribed protocol (see
the full research protocol). The purposes of the study included:
- Documenting the current state of employment and training for people
with disabilities, which can then serve as baseline data for current and
future analyses; and
- Informing participants of the ILO technical consultation in January
2003.
Each of the studies is a snapshot of the status of the country's
development with regard to policies and practices related to the
training and employment of disabled persons. Both the research protocol
and the studies are organized according to the following format:
- Part One: Country Overview
A brief overview of the country, which provides a context within which
to consider the employment and training of people with disabilities.
- Part Two: People with Disabilities-Definitions, Data and
Situation
Basic information about people with disabilities, including common
definitions used in country, statistics, barriers they face to full
social participation, and how they are organized.
- Part Three: Legislation, Policies and Institutional Structures
Information about the legislation, policies and institutional framework
for implementing laws and policies related to people with disabilities,
with particular attention to training, employment and vocational
rehabilitation issues.
- Part Four: Education, Vocational Training, Employment and
Self-employment Services for People with Disabilities
A description of both mainstream and disability-specific educational,
training and employment service systems that implement policies or
deliver services, and which includes, if available, quantitative and
qualitative data.
- Part Five: Employment Opportunities for People with
Disabilities
A description of available employment opportunities for people with
disabilities and, when available, data describing their participation
levels.
- Part Six: Employment-Promotion Initiatives Involving Social
Partners
A description of specific activities and services directed to employers
and trade unions, and partnership programs between these social partners
and governments and NGOs.
- Part Seven: Summary and Future Directions
A brief summary of data in relation to the original Decade of Disabled
Persons, 1993-2002 Training and Employment Targets for Action, as well
as in-country recommendations for future activities.
