Recent attempts in many countries to increase the employment rates of disabled people have actually led to an erosion of financial support for many workless disabled people and their increasing stigmatisation as ‘scroungers’. Led by the disability movement’s concern with the employment choices faced by disabled people, this controversial book uses sociological and philosophical approaches, as well as international examples, to critically engage with possible alternatives to paid work. Essential reading for students, practitioners, activists and anyone interested in relationships between work, welfare and disability.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: Chris Grover (Edited by), Linda Piggott (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesAuthor: Chris GroverRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
