Demographic Aging

 The Lithuanian population is aging, and it causes many difficulties for public finances by increasing expenditures on health care, long-term care, and pensions, and also for the labor market by creating labor shortages. One of the ways to cope with demographic aging is to rise the employment rate of older people. According to Eurostat, the employment rate of the elderly aged 55–64 years increased from 49.6 percent in 2005 to 68.5 percent in 2018 in Lithuania and it is higher than the average employment rate of older workers in European Union, which was 58.7 percent in 2018. This paper focuses on older people in Lithuania, aged 55 and over, trying to answer a question whether the elderly in Lithuania willingly work or try to find alternatives such as receiving long-term social insurance benefits. The research findings show that the activity of older people in the labor market grows, and even the share of people with disabilities staying in the labor market increases. However, this analysis also shows that older people are more under risk to lose their job during an economic crisis, and this suggests that trying to find work alternatives can be closely related to one’s economic situation. Moreover, health problems remain one of the main factors limiting the activity of older people in the labor market. It is also noticeable that some labor force reserves exist among people with disabilities and this supposes that creating better adapted working conditions for older and disabled workers in Lithuania could probably contribute to meeting the needs of an aging workforce.

Paid Labor

By the 1920s, people with many different types and origins of disabilities—from tuberculosis and feeble-mindedness to amputations and blindness—had been pushed out of the paid labor market and, thereby, edged out from “good citizenship.” Most people with disabilities kept on working, although their labors were rarely recognized or compensated as such. The “problem” of disability, however, lay not in the actual bodies of disabled people, but rather in the meanings assigned to those impairments by employers and policy makers, as well as how those meanings intersected with shifting family capacities, a rapidly changing workplace, public policies aimed at discouraging dependency, and the complexity and mutability of disability itself....

People With Disability

People with disabilities in any society are at risk of social exclusion and discrimination. Nowadays, in recent decades, the treatment of people with disabilities has shifted towards giving people with special needs the opportunity to manage their own lives. The emphasis is on building a society that incorporates and is capable of meeting the needs of all people, including people with disabilities. Career development is a continuous process in which an individual uses information about himself, collects it and uses it to master the vast of professions and apply it to himself. This report discusses people with disabilities and their opportunities to integrate into the Latvian labor market.

ResumoIntrodução: O estudo tem como foco temático o trabalho na vida de pessoas com deficiência, de acordo com leis que asseguram o direito ao trabalho em condições justas e favoráveis. Vários estudos têm considerado as barreiras e os facilitadores do acesso e permanência de pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho, bem como, o contraste da realidade com o que é previsto na legislação. Objetivo: Identificar quais são as facilidades e barreiras no acesso e permanência no mercado de trabalho e discutir o emprego apoiado como estratégia de acompanhamento de pessoas com deficiência no Brasil. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma abordagem que preconiza a Prática Baseada em Evidências, sendo esta uma revisão integrativa da literatura de 2008 a 2015, que se refere a artigos brasileiros publicados em inglês, português e espanhol. Resultados/Discussão: Diversos fatores facilitam o ingresso e permanência de pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho, assim como muitos aspectos são considerados barreiras para o mesmo. Os facilitadores foram: oficinas de preparação e capacitação para o trabalho; parceria entre empresas e instituições especializadas; ações de sensibilização nas empresas; o sentido do trabalho na vida das pessoas com deficiências. As barreiras estavam relacionadas com: ineficácia no cumprimento da lei; baixo nível de escolaridade, qualificação profissional, salários; economia do país; estigma; esfera familiar; seletividade da deficiência; gênero; inadequação da estrutura física de empresas. Conclusões: Os dados mostraram que o Emprego Apoiado é uma alternativa para contribuir com os aspectos encontrados como facilitadores deste processo, bem como para ultrapassar os obstáculos também obtidos. Abstract Introduction: The study focuses on work in the lives of people with disabilities, according to laws that ensure the right to work on fair and favorable terms. Several studies have considered the barriers and facilitators of the access and permanence of people with disabilities in the labor market, as well as the contrast of reality with what is foreseen in the legislation. Objective: To identify the facilities and barriers to access and permanence in the labor market and to discuss supported employment as a strategy to accompany people with disabilities in Brazil. Methodology: This is an approach based on Evidence-Based Practice, which is an integrative review of the literature from 2008 to 2015, which refers to Brazilian articles published in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Results / Discussion: Several factors facilitate the entry and permanence of people with disabilities in the labor market, as many aspects are considered barriers to it. The facilitators were: workshops for preparation and training for work; partnership between companies and specialized institutions; awareness actions in companies; the meaning of work in the lives of people with disabilities. The barriers were related to: ineffectiveness in complying with the law; low level of education, professional qualification, salaries; economy of the country; stigma; family sphere; disability selectivity; genre; inadequacy of the physical structure of companies. Conclusions: The data showed that Supported Employment is an alternative to contribute to the aspects found as facilitators of this process, as well as to overcome the obstacles also obtained.Keywords: Person with Disabilities, Job, Supported Employment.

First Time

The strategies for integrating people with disabilities into the labor market have evolved toward a social approach, in which the objective is the integration with stable and decent jobs. This article analyzes how persons with disabilities enter the ordinary labor market by studying the factors that strengthen stability in that process. In particular, it analyzes the incentives to hire workers by means of Social Security contribution deductions, a wage cost-reducing measure, and studies whether or not reduced contributions affects the hiring of people with disabilities in stable positions, thus promoting the possibility of decent and stable jobs. We focus on people with disabilities entering the job market for the first time during the period 2004 to 2011, using the Continuous Sample of Working Histories Database for Spain and using as a control group people without disabilities. The results obtained show that reduced social security contributions constitute an incentive that effectively encourages the entry of workers with a disability into the labor market by means of stable employment.

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.

Unobservable Factors

The occupational achievements of people with disabilities and those with less severe functional limitations are analyzed before and after the implementation of employment quotas. The differentials are decomposed into (i) productive or socioeconomic factors; and (ii) unobservable factors such as discrimination and other social constraints. The unobservable difficulties, which play an important role in determining differences in employment rates, reduced substantially, especially for people with more severe limitations. However, while these workers continue to obtain low paid jobs, those most qualified with less severe limitations attained better occupational positions, and hence, higher wages.
