“…Seventeen studies (10 secondary analysis [28,46,48,49,54,55,58,[60][61][62] and seven perspective [43-45, 47, 50-52]) discussed how workplace accommodations implemented during the pandemic created new conditions and opportunities for accommodations-related advocacy by and for people with disabilities. While the process for obtaining accommodations before the pandemic had often been a long and bureaucratic one [52,63] these studies argued that the pandemic demonstrated that some accommodations can be quickly and easily granted.…”

“…world evidence of the benefits of the principle of universal design, wherein technology is designed to be usable by as many people as possible, with a diverse range of needs in mind [50,55,59,60]. Sheppard-Jones et al [59] observed that universal design may help reduce the need for individualized accommodation requests relating to technology, and the experiences of the pandemic may have provided an opportune environment for advocates to push for its implementation on a larger and more permanent scale.…”

“…The third main theme, which we identified in twenty-three studies (eight primary research [15,36,39,40,42,57,65,71], eight secondary analysis [28,46,48,49,55,58,60,62], seven perspective [44,45,47,50,53,59,68]) was regarding the need to take action on workplace accommodation issues. This theme was evident across all types of papers, regardless of whether they emphasized the positive or negative impacts of pandemic-related accommodations.…”

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread changes in the way people work. Some of these changes represent the same kinds of work modifications or adjustments that have often been requested as workplace accommodations, and which may improve labour market and employment outcomes for people with disabilities. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this scoping review was to examine the literature on workplace accommodations in the pandemic and their impacts and implications for people with disabilities. METHODS: Following a search of six international databases, articles were selected by two reviewers, and data were abstracted in accordance with scoping review methodology. A thematic analysis was used to report the relevant findings. RESULTS: Thirty-seven articles met the inclusion criteria, and three main themes were identified: positive impacts of pandemic-related workplace accommodations on people with disabilities (e.g., improved accessibility, reduced stigma around workplace accommodations, rapid implementation of workplace accommodations, opportunities for advocacy); negative impacts (e.g., worsened physical and mental health, new accommodation needs); and action needed and recommendations (e.g., revisit legislation and policy on accommodations, ensure representation of people with disabilities). Overall, our review identified a mixed assessment of the impacts of pandemic-related accommodations on people with disabilities. However, there was a broader consensus regarding the importance of learning from the experiences of the pandemic to improve workplace accommodation policies in the future. CONCLUSIONS: The pandemic may present opportunities for improving workplace accommodation policies, but our review also highlights the need for more research examining how workplace changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted people with disabilities.

Publications for 1980-1989 were mainly written in five subject areas wherein medicine (61.9%) had more advantages compared to other subject areas.…”

The study aims to form a conceptual model for researchers engaged in analyzing and further improving current employment policy of specific states concerning persons with special needs, based on a review, analysis and systematization of the main conclusions and trends in the literature. The article presents the results of studies of temporal changes in publications over time and by topic, identifies trends in the change of used keywords, and establishes trends in the distribution of articles in the studied areas, which allows describing a conceptual model that reflects the essence and forms the basis of disability employment policy. The conceptual model was the result of studying global trends in the formation of disability employment policy through a review of 1,284 publications obtained from the Scopus database from 1918 to 2021 and their analysis based on various methodological approaches of bibliometric analysis. The results first revealed an increase from 31 articles in 2005 to 101 articles in 2018. Second, we found that 68% of the authors are from the United States. The article also identifies that disability is presented as a global problem and lists the reasons for the philosophical shift in the field of disability employment. The authors substantiate a new paradigm of disability employment policy and explain the growth of publications after adopting the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Finally, the article points out that the role of leadership and participation of persons with disabilities is established in building an inclusive, accessible and sustainable world. Temporal changes in the used keywords of publications showed an expansion of topics related to disability employment policy. Trends in the distribution of publications in the studied areas have shown social sciences and medicine as the main subject areas of policy in the field of disability employment.
