Moving forward. Toward decent work for people with disabilities. Examples of good practices in vocational training and employment from Asia and the Pacific

This book offers policymakers, people with disabilities and especially service providers in Asia and the Pacific with examples of good practices related to various aspects of vocational training and employment. The term employment is used in its broadest sense to include formal sector jobs and new work forms for people with disabilities such as supported employment, self-employment, income-generating activities and participation in family businesses or cooperatives. While each country needs to and should adopt policies based on equal opportunities and inclusion, this volume primarily addresses practices. However, several of the examples demonstrate how national legislation, policies and government funding are necessary to create an environment in which effective practices can flourish.
