Hundreds of millions of people with disabilities around the world are out of work or underemployed. Disability and Equity at Work is the first book to document what can be done to improve the employment situation of people with disabilities globally, from attaining their first job through career advancement. Increasing employment rates makes economic sense. Estimates put the forgone income of having people with disabilities outside the labor market at 5-7% of a country's GDP.
