2.1 – What are the implications of labour market changes for people with disabilities?
What do we know about the labour market experiences of people with disabilities and the emerging trends in the world of work? What are the main obstacles that people with disabilities encounter in the labour market? Are some occupations or fields more difficult than others to transition to and succeed in? To what extent do recent changes, for example flexible working hours, tele-working, technologies and the rise in self-employment, make it easier for people with disabilities? Do other labour market trends create new difficulties? What are the differences in the formal and non-formal economy? What labour market information and analyses are needed to support transitions of people with disabilities? In your experience, to what extent is the design of TVET policies and programmes informed by evidence about labour market trends? What could be done in the future to advance equal opportunities, both in TVET and the world of work?
