- Summary
- Despite major structural changes in the labour market in the 1980s, young people with severe disabilities must be included in open and supported employment within the community. Improved education and training facilities for young people with disabilities have contributed to this goal of maximising employment opportunities. This publication gives examples of good practice in Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States providing an important basis on which to plan the development of transitional arrangements for all young people.
