Disabilitas dan Pekerjaan

The provided text consists of excerpts and introductory chapters from the 2024 book Disability and Employment: Towards a Humanistic Economy by Fumitaka Furuoka. The author explores the persistent unemployment gap between individuals with disabilities and those without, framing the issue within the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Furuoka examines how modern capitalist production and the pursuit of market efficiency have historically marginalized workers perceived as less productive. The text evaluates different conceptual frameworks, such as the medical, social, and capability models, to better understand how society defines "normality" and "disability." Additionally, the sources provide a bibliographical overview of scholarly research, focusing specifically on the controversial impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on labor market outcomes. Ultimately, the work advocates for targeted policy interventions and a shift toward a more humanistic economic system that ensures equitable work opportunities for all.
