Proponemos en este trabajo un indicador para evaluar el grado de sensibilización del empresario ante el problema de la contratación de trabajadores con discapacidad en la provincia de Cádiz. A partir de los datos obtenidos a través de entrevistas personales a empresarios, llevamos a cabo un análisis de la varianza multifactorial y estudiamos la influencia sobre el indicador de factores como son el sector de actividad de la empresa, la existencia previa de trabajadores con discapacidad y el tamaño de la empresa, así como sus interacciones.<br /><br />This paper presents an indicator to evaluate employer's attitudes towards the employment of disabled people in the Province of Cadiz. Using data collected during personal interviews with employers, we applied a multifactor ANOVA test to analyse which factors influence the indicator values. The factors considered are the sector of business activity, the company size, the prior existence of disabled workers in the company, and their interactions.<br />

Labour Market Activity

Imposing financial penalties on claimants of unemployment insurance may incentivise labour market re-entry. However, sanctions may have differential effects depending on the work-readiness of the claimants. Here, I explore whether sanctioning disabled claimants is associated with greater labour market activity or inactivity among disabled people using data on 346 British local authorities between 2009 and 2014. When the number of sanctioned disabled claimants rises (as a proportion of all claimants) the proportion of economically inactive people who are also disabled becomes larger. There is not a clear relationship between sanctioning disabled claimants the proportion of employed people who are disabled.

Abstract Fung, T., Farnsworth, K. D., Reid, D. G., Rossberg, A. G. 2012. Recent data suggest no further recovery in North Sea Large Fish Indicator. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 235–239. We detail the calculations of North Sea Large Fish Indicator values for 2009–2011, demonstrating an apparent stall in recovery. Therefore, recovery to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive's good environmental status of 0.3 by the 2020 deadline now looks less certain and may take longer than was expected using data from 2006 to 2008.

The perception of employing people with disabilities in China and the United States The concept of disability has been accompanied by controversies, stereotypes and stigmatization for years. Despite the fact that the number of people with disabilities in China and the United States is still growing, the issue of perceiving the functioning of disabled people in the society and including them to the work environment remains unsolved, notwithstanding the number of legal regulations and financial incentives in China and USA to change the employment of people with disabilities. This study compares the perception of employment of people with disabilities in China and the United States. The comparison was based on a self-conducted study among the Chinese community between February and March 2020 on a group of 121 people using the CAWI method (Computer Assisted Web Interview) and an American study: A national survey of consumer attitudes towards companies that hire people with disabilities, by G.N. Siperstein, N. Romano, A. Mohler, and R. Parker, conducted on 803 residents of the USA randomly selected for telephone interviews. The comparison took place, among others, in the assessment of the employment of disabled people by respondents in the context of other social activities in the company, as well as the satisfaction of the respondents with the results of the disabled at work. It was pointed out that in both China and the USA, previous experiences with people with disabilities may affect a more favorable approach towards employing disabled people. However, there are differences in the satisfaction with services provided by people with disabilities, as well as in trust in disabled workers, where Chinese residents have less positive attitude than their American counterparts.

The current economic crisis has reduced substantially the number of employment. However, statistics from the Public Employment Service shows an increase in the number of jobs contracts signed by disabled people. The main reason in that Sheltered Employment Centers have raised largely their contracting. On the opposite, ordinary firms have reduced hiring with disabled workers. These data seem to show an upward trend in Sheltered Employment Centers while disabled people in regular employment diminishes. This conclusion is against the aim of the Social Integration for Disabled People Act, although it seems that the SEC´s acting as "employment refuge" of disabled people in times of crisis.

Congenital Disabilities

As workers with a wide array of both acquired and congenital disabilities lost access to the paid labor market, legislators and reformers began to search for a way to return people with disabilities to productivity and self-support. Influenced by the Protestant work ethic and the long-standing association of dependency with poor citizenship, rehabilitators tended to focus more on restoring their clients’ putatively damaged morality than on determining how to integrate disabled people into the wage labor market. Nevertheless, vocational rehabilitation programs did offer some disabled people and their families modest incomes during times of considerable stress. Chapter 6 traces the emergence of Goodwill Industries and the ways in which its sheltered workshops replicated mainstream employers’ use of piecework and concerns with efficiency—dynamics that led managers to exclude many disabled workers as too inefficient. Due to the complexity of disability and the ways that it intersected with age, gender, and family status, few clients moved into the outside labor force.

Using Data

This article examines business dominance in small claims courts from four perspectives: party entity, party relationship, claim subject matter, and business plaintiff success. Using data collected from the Toronto Small Claims Court, it compares business activity before and after the monetary limit rose from CDN $10,000 to CDN $25,000. Although most claims are brought by business plaintiffs against individual defendants, business dominance did not worsen following the limit increase. In some ways, it actually receded. Individual defence rates rose, and business plaintiff success fell. In sum, capping monetary limits is not recommended to reduce business activity in small claims courts. Dans cet article, l’auteure étudie la dominance des entreprises devant les cours de petites créances sous quatre angles : celui de la personne morale, celui des rapports des parties entre elles, celui de l’objet revendiqué et celui du succès de l’entreprise demanderesse. En se servant de données provenant de la cour des petites créances de Toronto, l’auteure compare les proportions d’instances introduites par les entreprises avant et après le passage de 10 000 $ à 25 000 $ CDN de la limite pécuniaire des réclamations. Bien que la plupart des instances soient introduites par des entreprises demanderesses contre des particuliers défendeurs, la dominance des entreprises ne s’est pas accentuée après le relèvement de la limite pécuniaire des réclamations. À certains égards, cette dominance a en fait reculé. Les moyens de défense des particuliers se sont accrus et le taux de succès des entreprises demanderesses a baissé. En conséquence, il n’est pas recommandé de plafonner la limite pécuniaire des réclamations pour réduire la place que prennent les entreprises devant les cours de petites créances.

This paper explores the association between job satisfaction and gender for workers with disabilities, using data from the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled, which interviews officially registered persons with disabilities in Korea. To take full advantage of the longitudinal data, we apply random-effects ordered probit models to investigate the underlying factors that affect gender differentials in job satisfaction. Our findings reveal that merely different work values between women and men do not account for the significantly higher job satisfaction among women. We suggest that workers’ expectations play a role in explaining why female workers are happier in the workplace than their male counterparts; that is, holding other factors constant, women’s expectations from jobs are lower than men’s. This hypothesis is partially supported by the empirical analyses that gender differentials diminish among the highly educated workers, for whom there is less likely to be a gender gap in terms of job expectations.

My PhD research focuses on special rehabilitation firms (they are specialised to employ disabled people) and their employees. Two questionnaires for the above mentioned firms and their employees were created in order to gather information on their activities as well as to explore the relationship between the firms and their employees. Altogether 1030 employees and 109 employers filled in the questionnaires. The current study shows the results of this survey. It can be stated that this paper shows the risk of finding a workplace after a certain time period. According to the latest trends I analyse the labour market situation of people living with disabilities with survival analysis. The survival analysis is able to manage partial information, as well. After summarizing all claims of participants we can make an impression in this area and demonstrate the problems for the labour market generally. I use the Log-rank, Breslow and Tahane-Ware probe.

Positive Effect

This article examines the Italian policy framework on the employment of disabled people. It discusses the strengths and limitations of Law 68 of 12 March 1999 (Regulation on the right to work of disabled people). Despite it having been enacted 16 years after being passed, Law 68/99 still faces problems in its implementation. The data analysis shows the propensity of firms to flout their obligations with regard to the recruitment of disabled people, preferring instead the risk of being sanctioned. In order for Law 68/99 to have a positive effect on the employment of disabled people, higher incentives (including subsidies for labour costs) must be introduced for employers, especially to enable the adaptation and adjustment of the workplace. With these inducements, firms would be encouraged to recruit disabled people and avoid penalties. In addition, disability management policies (still rarely implemented in the Italian workplace) and comprehensive training programmes can play a crucial role in overcoming discriminatory constraints regarding skills and physical ability, so as to increase the employability of disabled people in the labour market.
