EMPLOYMENT OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR

Abstract

This study examines the difficulties that impede society, particularly the private sector, from considering individuals with disabilities as problem solvers instead of rights holders. It investigates whether it is feasible to require the commercial sector to set aside a particular proportion of jobs for people with disabilities and whether doing so would mean moving away from the existing Human rights model and back toward the charity model. It also attempts to expand the scope of discussion about the rights of the PwDs to connect to a larger debate about their place in society. It identifies gaps that have prevented the private sector from realizing the same. It further maps the progress in International   Jurisdiction to understand what India needs to better realize all human rights by people with disabilities. Additionally, it also attempts to understand the contemporary international perspective of some countries regarding the issue to draw upon what kind of politics and initiatives create and reflect a positive change to the situation regarding employment rates of persons with disabilities. This analysis has then helped to develop a few solutions on how the situation can be better using schemes from other countries in the Indian context.
