While the COVID-19 public health emergency has had disastrous health impacts for people with disabilities, it remains unclear what impact the associated economic recession and subsequent recovery have had on disability employment. Objective: We evaluated employment trends for people with and without disabilities over the course of the COVID-19 recession and subsequent economic recovery, both overall and by occupational category (essential, non-essential, teleworkable, non-teleworkable, frontline, nonfrontline). We made use of data from the nationally representative Current Population Survey. Linear probability models were used to estimate percent changes in employment-to-population ratios and identify differences between disabled and non-disabled employment in each quarter broadly and within specific occupational categories. As the COVID-19 recession began in Q2 2020, people with disabilities experienced employment losses that were proportionately similar to those experienced by people without disabilities. However, during the subsequent economic recovery, the employment rate of people with disabilities has grown more quickly in Q4 2021 through Q2 2022, driven by increased labor force participation. These employment gains have been concentrated in teleworkable, essential, and non- frontline occupations. Our findings suggest that people with disabilities are disproportionately benefiting from the rapid recovery from the initial economic contraction at the start of the pandemic.

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year for Nonfiction "...an essential and engaging look at recent disability history."— Buzzfeed One of the most influential disability rights activists in US history tells her personal story of fighting for the right to receive an education, have a job, and just be human. A story of fighting to belong in a world that wasn’t built for all of us and of one woman’s activism—from the streets of Brooklyn and San Francisco to inside the halls of Washington—Being Heumann recounts Judy Heumann’s lifelong battle to achieve respect, acceptance, and inclusion in society. Paralyzed from polio at eighteen months, Judy’s struggle for equality began early in life. From fighting to attend grade school after being described as a “fire hazard” to later winning a lawsuit against the New York City school system for denying her a teacher’s license because of her paralysis, Judy’s actions set a precedent that fundamentally improved rights for disabled people. As a young woman, Judy rolled her wheelchair through the doors of the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in San Francisco as a leader of the Section 504 Sit-In, the longest takeover of a governmental building in US history. Working with a community of over 150 disabled activists and allies, Judy successfully pressured the Carter administration to implement protections for disabled peoples’ rights, sparking a national movement and leading to the creation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Candid, intimate, and irreverent, Judy Heumann’s memoir about resistance to exclusion invites readers to imagine and make real a world in which we all belong.

In the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hungarian Government introduced distance learning at all levels of public education. The switch to digital education found the education system unprepared, as neither the devices nor the digital skills were in place to provide a sufficient learning level for students with special educational needs (SEN). Teachers often turned to offline solutions to manage the lack of digital devices or internet connectivity and distributed materials and homework on paper. Even where infrastructure was in place, digital teaching often involved materials and tasks being circulated via email. The most significant disadvantage for SEN students was the lack of live tutoring and group sessions. A group of professionals highlighted that the absence of movement skills development negatively affected SEN students' health (see Chapter 12 for more details). There is no COVID-related development in relation to independent living and the measures were not particularly taken for COVID. Support for independent living continues to have very limited coverage, and is unevenly developed across regions, particularly in rural areas. Basic social services are not tailored to the specific individual requirements of the persons concerned. Persons with disabilities requiring high levels of support and persons with autism appear to face major barriers in access to appropriate support in the community, putting them at risk of institutionalisation. The shortage of personnel providing support and the insufficient public financing of basic social services are particularly worrying (see Chapter 9 for more details). There has not been any initiative to reduce or prevent disability-related disadvantage in the field of work, including in policies on returning to the workplace. The biggest share of job losses was in the public sector, where disabled people are over-represented, but we do not yet have any estimates, based on either empirical or anecdotal evidence, as to the possible impact of their exposure to the employment loss consequences of COVID-19 (see Chapter 13 for more details).

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on businesses and jobs whereas many employees were furloughed and laid off. While the global pandemic had a significant negative impact worldwide, it presented a unique opportunity to revolutionize employment for persons with disabilities. Employers' willingness to rapidly adapt to the changing work environment by transitioning businesses to remote work and flexible working schedules can facilitate an inclusive work environment for persons with disabilities, especially in communities that also face significant geographical barriers to access employment. The aim of this study is to understand the underlying challenges facing persons with disabilities in the workforce, and explore the extent COVID-19 pandemic can reshape and create new employment opportunities for people with disabilities in Egypt with the current emphasis given to digital jobs and technology. A qualitative research in the form of in-depth interviews were conducted with 9 specialists in the field of disability inclusion in Egypt and developing countries from diverse national and international professional affiliations. The research findings indicate that there is a unique opportunity that digital jobs can offer, with a potential to overcome barriers that threaten the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the workforce and exacerbate the existing inequities and disparities that existed before COVID-19. Investing in digital technology, accessibility and skills can transform the future of work for persons of disability by introducing a new era of digital employment.

A chronicle of ableism and disability activism in New York City during the COVID-19 pandemic How to be Disabled in a Pandemic documents the pivotal experiences of disabled people living in an early epicenter of COVID-19: New York City. Among those hardest hit by the pandemic, disability communities across the five boroughs have been disproportionately impacted by city and national policies, work and housing conditions, stigma, racism, and violence—as much as by the virus itself. Disabled and chronically-ill activists have protested plans for medical rationing and refuted the eugenic logic of mainstream politicians and journalists who “reassure” audiences that only older people and those with disabilities continue to die from COVID-19. At the same time, as exemplified by the viral hashtag #DisabledPeopleToldYou, disability expertise has become widely recognized in practices such as accessible remote work and education, quarantine, and distributed networks of support and mutual aid. This edited volume charts the legacies of this “mass disabling event” for uncertain viral futures, exploring the dialectic between disproportionate risk and the creativity of a disability justice response. How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic includes contributions by wide-ranging disability scholars, writers, and activists whose research and lived experiences chronicle the pandemic’s impacts in prisons, migrant detention centers, Chinatown senior centers, hospitals in Queens and the Bronx, working from bed in Brooklyn, subways, schools, housing shelters, social media, and other locations of public and private life. By focusing on New York City over the course of three years, the book reveals key themes of the pandemic, including hierarchies of disability vulnerability, the deployment of disability as a tool of population management, and innovative crip pandemic cultural production. How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic honors those lost, as well as those who survived, by calling for just policies and caring infrastructures, not only in times of crisis but for the long haul.

In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
