This volume contains stories of 25 disabled women in Asia, Africa and Latin America. They tell how they defied the odds to become educators, lawyers, farmers and shopkeepers. Their success is measured not only in monetary terms, but in the number of obstacles they have overcome.; The women speak candidly about discrimination, motivating influences, the quest for education and employment, and the desire to be wives and mothers. They also offer pragmatic advice for policy-makers, so that more disabled women can achieve their potential and contribute to society.

This book explores the economic situation of disabled people in developing countries focusing on rehabilitation and uses particpatory framework to community development. Although dealing specifically with a case study from Jordan, this needs assessment study provides comparisons with other developing societies. The author considers the prospect for future improvement in disability policy at a time when state budgets are already over stretched by widespread poverty, unemployment and poor health conditions. The book is divided into three parts. Part one explores disability and economic rehabilitation within global context and sets the scene for understanding what disability is and the impact of having disability across cultures with emphasis on the experience of discrimination. Part two deals with disability theory and practice in Jordan in terms of economic policies and provisions available for disabled people. Part three presents concluding remarks on the rise of disability politics in developing countries and the development of a participatory policy agenda.

Despite major structural changes in the labour market in the 1980s, young people with severe disabilities must be included in open and supported employment within the community. Improved education and training facilities for young people with disabilities have contributed to this goal of maximising employment opportunities. This publication gives examples of good practice in Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States providing an important basis on which to plan the development of transitional arrangements for all young people.

With several empirical evidences, this book advocates on the importance of human capital of persons with disabilities and demands the paradigm shift from charity into investment approach. Society in general believes that people with disabilities cannot benefit from education, cannot participate in the labour market and cannot be contributing members to families and countries. To invalidate such assumptions, this book describes how education in particular helps make persons with disabilities achieve economic independence and social inclusion. For the first time, detailed analyses of returns to the investment in education and nexus between disability, education, employability and occupational options are discussed. Moreover, other chapters describe disability and poverty followed by the discussion of barriers behind why persons with disabilities are unable to obtain education despite the significantly higher returns. These foundational themes recur throughout the book.
