Degree Of Participation

Introduction. The urgency of the problem of participatory interaction is due to the fact that the development of modern society cannot be imagined outside the concept of creating a space of equal opportunities. In this regard, the issues of participatory interaction in the system “people with disabilities – society” are in the focus of attention of specialists in various fields of knowledge. The research purpose was to identify the types of participatory interaction in society that are typical for people with disabilities. Materials and methods. The study was conducted in the Saratov Region of the Russian Federation (N=100). The sample included young people with disabilities aged 15-23. The author’s questionnaire “Degree of Participation Manifestation” was used as a diagnostic tool. The results were processed using the standard package of IBM SPSS Statistics 21 (two-stage cluster analysis). Research results. Four types of participatory interaction of people with disabilities were identified: actively cooperating (25%), moderately included (17%), non-initiating (29%), inertly accepting (29%) types. Features of participation are determined by the vector of participatory interaction, the modality of the life perspective and the activity of people with disabilities (the importance of predictors is equal to 1; 0.83 and 0.75, respectively). Discussion and conclusion. Research results showed that young people with disabilities are involved in participatory interaction to varying degrees. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of respondents consider participatory interaction as an important condition for the effective fulfillment of individual capacity and a full-quality life in society. In this regard, the author’s typology can be used in specialists’ practical activities when constructing a space of equal opportunities.

Attitudes Towards Inclusion

People with disabilities, who represent a significant part of the population of today's world, are still on the margins of social goods and values because of the attitudes of people who are not. Although, in earlier social eras, they were observed mainly from the point of view of social possibilities of existence, the appearance of significant world documents, and affirmations on the labour market, these attitudes changed somewhat. Nevertheless, in many countries of the world, the upbringing and education of children and young people with disabilities is burdened with numerous difficulties and problems. This chapter will help students, professionals, and others interested in these problems to get to know them and thus enrich their cognitive, emotional, social, and work competencies that may be needed to work with them. It will help them in practical application at all levels of their education, which will contribute to strengthening positive attitudes towards inclusion.

Economic Transitions

This chapter illustrates how most young people in Chinese state care become state wards as very young children and have disabilities. When they reach adulthood, many of them remain unemployed. Before the economic transitions in the 1980s, the government provided most of these young people with jobs when they became young adults, or they gained employment in welfare enterprises with tax concessions to employ people with disabilities. After the economic transition, however, many welfare factories reduced their employees or closed down, and state directives for job placement were dismantled. The chapter shows how job placement for young adult orphans has become a challenge for child welfare institutions, and a bottleneck for the support of new children entering state care.
