Disability, Welfare and Work

拟议的项目将在从福利到工作政策的背景下，对残疾人的经历提供重要的见解。该项目将能够衡量投入新的“从福利到工作”措施的大量公共资金的有效程度。2002/2003年，澳大利亚政府在公开就业援助方面投入了3亿多澳元。对残疾的正确模式、义务与我们对公民身份的理解的关系以及相关的道德问题等概念问题的应用研究，将有助于使澳大利亚保持在应用哲学和社会学研究的前沿。

The proposed project will offer significant insights into the experiences of people with a disability in the context of welfare-to-work policies. The project will be able to gauge the extent to which the significant amount of public funds invested in the new welfare-to-work measures is effective. In 2002/03 the Australian Government invested over 300 million dollars in Open Employment assistance. The applied research into conceptual questions such as the correct model of disability, the relation of obligation to our understanding of citizenship and associated ethical issues will assist in maintaining Australia at the cutting edge of applied philosophical and sociological research.
