“…Nine studies mention obtaining employment (Dark and Light Blind Care, 2008;Gupta, 2013;Kiani, 2009;Lamichhane, 2012b;Moodley & Graham, 2015;Naami, 2015;OHCHR, 2012;Ortoleva, 2010;Opini, 2010) and one study mentions retaining a job as problems for women with disabilities (OHCHR, 2012). Furthermore, even when women with disabilities in LMICs have obtained and retained a job, they have difficulties with employment conditions.…”

“…Reports that review different databases (Mitra et al, 2011;Opini, 2010;Parnes et al, 2009;UN General Assembly, 2012) conclude that women with disabilities face more difficulties than men with disabilities, or people without disabilities, in gaining access to education. For many of those who do access education, the continuation of education is also an issue.…”

“…Lack of education and vocational skills of women with disabilities is named in three studies (Dhungana, 2007;Naami, 2015;Opini, 2010). Opini states that there is a mismatch between the vocational skills that women with disabilities are trained in and the needs of the job market.…”

This study looks at the equality challenges and opportunities for women with disabilities in low and middle income countries (LMICs) to participate and succeed in education, employment and motherhood. It is based on a systematic review of the literature from academic and non-governmental organization databases. The search of these databases yielded 24 articles, which were subsequently passed through open, axial, and selective coding. The resulting review found that women with disabilities in LMICs have severe difficulty participating and succeeding in education, employment and motherhood due to a number of interrelated factors: (i) hampered access to education, employment, intimacy and marriage, (ii) stigma and cultural practices resulting in discrimination and prejudice, and (iii) lack of support from family, teachers and institutions-all of which are exacerbated by poverty. Support from families, communities, the government, and nongovernmental organizations improves women's ability to fulfil their social roles (as students, employees and mothers), resulting in a better quality of life. Strategies that create awareness, minimize poverty and facilitate justice may improve the opportunities for women with disabilities in LMICs to participate in education, employment and motherhood, as well as their ability to succeed in these domains.

“…Ademais, a inclusão de PcD no mercado de trabalho esbarra em grandes dificuldades para se afirmar em relação, principalmente, do descrédito dos empregadores em relação às possibilidades de trabalho das PcD e das alegações de baixa qualificação dessa população (Maia, Camino C., & Camino L., 2011;Ribeiro & Carneiro, 2009;Tanaka & Manzini, 2005). Além disso, vários estudos identificam as dificuldades geradas pelo contexto e condições de trabalho para as pessoas com deficiência (Butterfield & Ramseur, 2004;Gartrell, 2010;Jolly, 2000;Opini, 2010;Shier, Grahan & Jones, 2009;Stone & Colella, 1996;Stone-Romero, Stone & Lukaszewski, 2006;Wehbi & El-Lahib, 2007;Zolna, Sanford, Sabata & Goldthwaite, 2007).…”

ResumoEsta pesquisa buscou verificar se o comprometimento organizacional e a satisfação com aspectos relacionados à qualidade de vida no trabalho apresentam resultados significativamente diferentes entre pessoas com (PcD) e sem deficiência (PsD). Participaram do estudo 150 trabalhadores, dos quais 75 com e 75 sem deficiência. Os grupos foram emparelhados conforme a função desempenhada e a organização de trabalho. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Questionário de Comprometimento e de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho. As respostas foram analisadas quantitativamente. Os resultados permitiram verificar que as PcD têm resultados de satisfação com fatores relacionados ao contexto de trabalho e de comprometimento similares aos das demais pessoas. No entanto, quando possuir uma deficiência se associa a condições sociais de desvantagem (menor renda familiar e primeiro emprego) e ao fato de ser do sexo masculino, as pessoas com deficiência tendem a ter um maior comprometimento instrumental. Palavras-chave: Comprometimento organizacional, Qualidade de vida no trabalho, Deficiência. Organizational commitment and quality of working life for people with and without disability AbstractThe aim of this research was to verify if organizational commitment and satisfaction with aspects related to quality of working life were different between people with and without disabilities. The sample was constituted of 150 workers, 75 with and 75 without some disability. The groups were paired in function and work organization. The tools used were: Questionnaire about Organizational Commitment and Questionnaire about Satisfaction with Quality of Working Life. The answers were analyzed by quantitative method. The statistical analysis of organizational commitment and satisfaction did not present difference between people with and without disability. The results show that Satisfaction with Quality of working life and commitment are similar between people with and without disability. However, when the disability is associated with conditions of social disadvantage (lower income and first job) and when people with disabilities are males, these people tend to have higher instrumental commitment. Keywords: Organizational commitment, Quality of working life, Disability.Compromiso con la organización y calidad de vida laboral de personas con y sin discapacidad Resumen Esta investigación buscó verificar si el compromiso con la organización y la satisfacción con aspectos relacionados con la calidad de la vida laboral presentan resultados diferentes entre personas con y sin discapacidad.

Employer dilemma over disability employment policy in Thailand

This article analyses factors that present employers with a disability employment dilemma. Research on labour market discrimination among disabled jobseekers is abundant. However, very little is known about the reasons why employers cannot hire these people. It was noted that (i) the government passed disability laws and related regulations without sufficient study; (ii) universal design in society is not well placed; and (iii) the family always overprotects disabled members. These three major factors have demotivated disabled people. Despite strong intentions, employers fail to hire people with disabilities, while, at the same time, they are forced to pay into the Fund for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities.
