Abstract

Employment and employability are some of the most important problems that people with disabilities face throughout their lives. Employers are often afraid or unaware of the abilities that people with disabilities might have for a specific position, and they misjudge and mistreat them. Such perceptions need to change, and new technologies and trends in the work environment such as the Bring Your Own Device can help in improving conditions for people with disabilities. Moreover, the need for more inclusion and assistive technologies in work environments is now becoming more evident by the ageing population that is still employed due to the increase of retirement age in many countries. This chapter discusses those issues and how technology together with relevant policies can help in decreasing unemployment rates for people with disabilities.
