Disability Management: Key Concepts And Techniques For An Aging Workforce, Susanne M. Bruyere Dr.
Susanne Bruyère
The aging workforce is likely to result in increasing numbers of workers with disabilities. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that the 45-54 and 55-64 year-old population in the United States will grow by nearly 44.2 million (17%) and 35 million (39%) in the next ten years (U.S. Census Bureau, 2004). By the year 2010, this group will account for nearly half (44%) of the working age population (20-64), and the number of people with disabilities between the ages of 50 and 65 will almost double (Weathers, 2006). Disability management and accommodation policies and practices readily lend themselves to addressing the …
Immigration Policy And The U.S. Economy: An Institutional Perspective, Vernon Briggs
Immigration Policy And The U.S. Economy: An Institutional Perspective, Vernon Briggs
Vernon M Briggs Jr
"By virtue of events that have already transpired and public policies already in place, the 1990s will witness the largest inflow of immigrants into the population and labor force of the US of any decade inn the nation's history. The revival of the phenomenon of mass immigration from out of the nation's past began in 1965. Unlike earlier mass immigration periods to the US, the post-1965 wave of immigrants shows no sign of imminent decline. For a variety of reasons, immigration is a subject that is especially amenable to study and interpretation by institutional economists. In today's world setting, international …
Human Resource Development And The Formulation Of National Economic Policy, Vernon Briggs
Human Resource Development And The Formulation Of National Economic Policy, Vernon Briggs
Vernon M Briggs Jr
"One of the more insightful explanations for economic progress in industrialized nations during the last half of the twentieth century has been the recognition of "human resources as the wealth of nations." The notion has long enjoyed a rhetorical appeal by politicians in democratic societies. But awareness that the principle has enormous economic implications for national and international well-being has essentially been a post-World War II phenomena. Increasingly, policymakers in industrialized nations have realized that the human resource development of their labor forces is the key to efforts to address such difficult issues as efficiency, equity, stabilization, and growth. Nations …

Persons with minor or major disabilities represent a significant portion of the U.S. working-age population. Based on the 1993 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), approximately 30 million (19%) men and women 18 to 64 years of age report some type of physical or mental limitation. For approximately 55% of these individuals (about 10% of those 18 to 64), the limitations are severe.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) employment provisions on the employment practices of private sector business. The intended outcome of the research is to assist in the identification of employment practices that have been the most challenging in implementing the ADA, and to identify interventions that can be used by private sector employers and persons with disabilities to address these employment practices. Employment policy and practices that enhance both the hiring and retention of workers with disabilities are being examined. Most recently, our focus has been in information technology …

A Review Of The Literature And Implications For People With Disabilities (E-Human Resources Literature Review), Susanne M. Bruyere, William Erickson

To accomplish this overview, an extensive review of the literature on information technology applications to the employment process was conducted. Three human resources related uses of the Internet are explored in this review of current literature: E-recruiting, E-benefits/HR, E-training. Each of these areas can have a significant impact on employees with disabilities, especially given the growth of business’ use of the Web. If E-recruiting is not accessible, it could prevent people from applying for or even finding open positions. E-training, if not accessible, could create a new barrier to the advancement of individuals who are unable to access online training …

Rearranging The Deck Chairs Or Reallocating The Lifeboats?: Homelessness Assistance And Its Alternatives, Dennis P. Culhane, Stephen Metraux

Problem: At present, homelessness in the United States is primarily addressed by providing emergency and transitional shelter facilities. These programs do not directly address the causes of homelessness, and residents are exposed to victimization and trauma during stays. We need an alternative that is more humane, as well as more efficient and effective at achieving outcomes. Purpose: This article uses research on homelessness to devise alternative forms of emergency assistance that could reduce the prevalence and/or duration of episodes of homelessness and much of the need for emergency shelter. Methods: We review analyses of shelter utilization patterns to identify subgroups …
