The literature related to employment for TAY with disabilities indicates that this population has low labor force participation and numerous barriers to meaningful employment. TAY with disabilities have lower wages and concerns about losing public benefits by working, in addition to factors such as ableism and racism. Interventions described in the literature primarily focus on the micro level (improving the employee themself) and few exist for TAY with disabilities, specifically. In a landscape where employers may receive incentives to hire people with disabilities but are under no obligation to do so, TAY with disabilities may be perceived as more costly and less qualified when compared with nondisabled workers. More mezzo- and macro-level interventions are needed to ensure TAY with disabilities can engage in full and meaningful employment. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
