Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study reconsiders and illustrates the future direction of employment for disabled people.
I investigated the benefits of employing disabled people in the workplace, believing that their employment leads to decent work. The investigation revealed the following three points: First, the benefits of employing disabled people range widely from work/role division to new business development. Second, important for achieving such benefits are the utilization of supporting organizations and frameworks, and unconventional thinking about employment for disabled people. Third, the promotion of employment for disabled people requires consistent frameworks from the individual level to the policy level. Fourth, the quantity and quality growth of employment for disabled people is not merely a matter of guaranteeing the labor rights of disabled people, but we should aim for a symbiotic society that benefits all people.
