CONCLUDING THE ANALYSIS

In the final analysis, the key issues and considerations applicable to the employment of people with disabilities have proven to be complex and demanding in that they require a high level of commitment to transformation. In some respects, the decision to employ people with disabilities demands decisiveness by key role players in order to ensure the inclusion of people with disabilities across industries and staff levels. These considerations are not limited to those who are in formal employment but also extend to those who elect to engage in their own enterprises. (Gooding, 2013)

The current policy environment seeks to create the appropriate context to foster the development of skills, and engender sustainable development in moving people with disabilities away from a dependence on social grants to effective employment.
Significant challenges have been experienced in respect of efficacy and sustainability. The challenges include those related to historical factors on marginalisation, access to educational opportunities, access to mainstream economic and social activity and the changing landscape of government policies and strategies. The state of readiness of people with disabilities themselves and the organisations which represent them also remains a challenge. While the challenges continue to be addressed in a fragmented fashion, the status quo will prevail⁵⁰.
It is clear that policy, strategies, and interventions continue to be reviewed and implemented in respect of the many aspects which have an impact on the employment of people with disabilities. The main thrust is towards the inclusion of people with disabilities in the mainstream social and economic activities which drive our current favourable economic climate. Full participation of people with disabilities appears to require a redefinition of what can be classified as a ‘disability’ and what forms of employment will be consistent with the long term goals of sustainable human development.⁵¹

i Obviously, society is not divided neatly into rural and urban worlds. Many farmers live on the edge of towns, or combine waged work with agriculture; many rural families depend on income from seasonal labour in the cities or remittances from urbanised relatives.

ii These are the enterprises through which Oxfam Fair Trade and similar schemes can work. They offer the volumes needed for mail order or supermarket retailing in Northern markets, and they provide the institutional means for Oxfam and others to provide technical assistance in product development, marketing, quality control, etc.

iii A recent review by John Rowley of Oxfam’s work in food security reveals that all successful programmes involved support for people working together in local organisations and networks.
