获得有意义和公平报酬的工作是全世界残疾人面临的一个持续问题。本文涉及澳大利亚目前向残疾人提供的工作场所住宿的性质和范围。本文基于对《澳大利亚残疾、老龄化和照顾者调查》(2003年)的分析。这篇文章首先认可了现有文献中的发现，即残疾人就业的可能性较小，而在就业的地方，就业不足和工资过低的可能性很大。在没有住宿的情况下参加有偿工作的能力受到限制的情况很常见，住宿需求从43%到91%不等，具体取决于所经历的残疾性质。我们确定了残疾人自我选择进入工作场所的可能性，在那里他们可以自我适应自己的无障碍需求。总体而言，提供的工作场所住宿程度较低(12%-27%)。已知的分层因素(性别、种族和教育)加剧了就业方面的现有障碍。培训需求较高的工人获得就业的可能性较小，而那些受益于倡导者进入工作场所的人更有可能是劳动力。讨论了提高就业成果的战略。
Access to meaningful and equitably paid work is an ongoing issue facing people with disabilities across the world. This article is concerned with the nature and extent of workplace accommodation currently made available in Australia to people with disabilities. The article is based on analysis of the Australian Survey of Disability Ageing and Carers (2003). The article first ratifies existing findings in the literature that people with disability are less likely to be employed and where employed, are likely to be underemployed and underpaid. Restrictions in the ability to participate in paid work without accommodations were common with the need for accommodation varying from 43% through to 91%, depending on the nature of disability experienced. We identify the possibility that people with disability self-select themselves into workplaces where they can self-accommodate their own access needs. Generally, the extent of workplace accommodations provided were low (12%–27%). Known stratifying factors (gender, ethnicity, and education) exacerbated existing barriers to accessing employment. Workers with higher training needs were less likely to secure employment while people accessing the workplace with the benefit of an advocate were more likely to be in the workforce. Strategies for enhancing employment outcomes are discussed.
