“…There is a clear need to distinguish between health conditions, particularly with respect to physical and mental health problems. Incidents of mental health problems are rising among welfare claimants and are associated with more severe labour market disadvantages (Jones, 2016;Jones, Latreille, & Sloane, 2006;OECD, 2015).…”

Vocational rehabilitation aims at getting people with health problems or disabilities back into work. In Germany, the Public Employment Service is a central provider of vocational rehabilitation services targeted at unemployed people. Against this background, the study examined the labour market effects of vocational rehabilitation for people registered as unemployed with the Public Employment Service. A comparison of the accepted and the rejected applicants for vocational rehabilitation using inverse probability weighting based on propensity scores provides an insight into its effects. The results suggest that the employment prospects of persons who were accepted in the programme improved modestly after the third‐year following application. A subgroup analysis identified stronger re‐employment effects of acceptance into vocational rehabilitation in eastern Germany as well as for men and older individuals.

“…indicating that there are around 13.3 million disabled individuals in the UK (DWP, 2017;Jones, 2016). There is also evidence of an increasing birth-cohort trend in functional difficulties for the older and low socio-economic status (SES) individuals in the UK, suggesting that future disability prevalence rates may not decrease unless there is implementation of successful interventions (Morciano et al, 2015a).…”

Using longitudinal data from a representative UK panel, we focus on a group of apparently healthy individuals with no history of disability or major chronic health condition at baseline. A latent variable structural equation model is used to analyse the predictive role of latent baseline biological health, indicated by a rich set of biomarkers, and other personal characteristics, in determining the individual's disability state and health service utilisation five years later. We find that baseline health affects future health service utilisation very strongly, via functional disability as a mediating outcome. Our model reveals that observed income inequality in the access to health care, is driven by the fact that higher-income people tend to make greater use of healthcare treatment, for any given health and disability status. This leads to a slight rise in utilisation with income, despite the lower average need for treatment shown by the negative income gradients for both baseline health and disability outcomes. Factor loadings for latent baseline health show that a broader set of blood-based biomarkers, rather than the current focus mainly on blood pressure, cholesterol and adiposity, may need to be considered for public health screening programs.

“…It, of course, should get our big attention. In the construction process, people with disabilities should actively participate in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation so that the guarantee of people with disabilities' accessibility to the building, to minimizing disruptions likely related to the significant improvement of individual and organizational performances in workplace diversity (Wentling et.al 1997;Strauser ed 2014;Saebones et al 2015;Mizunoya et al;2016). Fair rewarding is useful to create workplace inclusion because workers with disabilities feel being respected and appreciated for the uniqueness they have and their contribution to the company (Miller and Katz 2002).…”

“…However, workers with disabilities should readily compete tightly in entering into job realm and be equipped with intellectual ability and high-quality skill according to the job need (Jones 2016). Workplace inclusion should be supported with cooperation between public or private institutions and related institutions; coworkers; work counseling and the role of facilitator for workers with a disability.…”

People with disabilities are often labeled negatively and treated discriminatively within community, including in workplace, so that only a few of them are absorbed in either formal or informal job. Meanwhile, they are entitled to get productive and reasonable job in order to realize their aspiration, to improve their life condition, and to participate actively within community. This article studies the workers with disabilities’ access to workplace inclusion in Postmodern Model Perspective in Surakarta. Accidental sampling was used to select informant; data collection was carried out through observation, in-depth interview, and document. Data validation was carried out using method and data source triangulations. The result of research showed that the access of the workers with disabilities to workplace inclusion has not been optimal yet, because the opportunity was still more limited compared with that for their non-disabled counterparts. Although inclusive work environment has diverse potential human resources and the workers with disabilities’ perspective, creativity, innovation, and problem solving ability have not been utilized maximally. In the construction process, workers with disabilities should actively participate in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation so that the guarantee of workers with disabilities’ accessibility to building, transportation and communication media, workplace inclusion and many facilities can be met. The improvement of accessibility in the term of independency, rehabilitation, and social grant, and the maintenance of social wellbeing level and equal right to grow and to develop people with disabilities’ talent, ability, and social life are important to develop workplace inclusion. Prioritizing and respecting pluralism, equity, dignity, and active public participation simultaneously and sustainably will lead to the realization of inclusive society.
