Abstract

Global job polarization has led to a shortage of labour in middle-skill level jobs, while high-skill and low-skill level jobs continue to expand. People with disabilities often lack the education, training, and skills necessary to achieve high- or middle-skill level employment. They often settle for employment in low-skill level employment or the informal sector economy. These changes challenge people with disabilities to achieve economic self-sufficiency, self-determination, and enhanced quality of life. Rehabilitation professionals must possess knowledge of differing levels of employment on a global basis, and transition to in-depth approaches with a focus on the changing work environment, skill attainment, and employer-demand side approaches to preparing individuals with disabilities for employment in the twenty-first-century economy.
