Yuwei Huo · Lecture Notes in Education Psychology and Public Media · 2023
People with disabilities are a special social disadvantaged group, facing more difficulties and obstacles in employment compared to the general population. Although the government has been continuously innovating and improving employment policies for people with disabilities since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, they still face obstacles such as employment difficulties and limited choices. This study analyzed the development process of employment policies for people with disabilities using the incrementalist model. It examined the employment environment and social barriers faced by people with disabilities under the current policies, as well as the issues related to inadequate organizational and resource support and limitations in preferential incentives during policy implementation. Based on these findings, new recommendations such as building an Equal Employment Environment, strengthening assistance mechanisms, improving Preferential Policies will be proposed to adapt employment policies for people with disabilities to the requirements of the new era and address the needs of this special group.
