Author(s): Mrinal Mudgal
Abstract: The job placement and inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (PwD) in India represent a critical yet under-addressed challenge in the pursuit of social equity and economic development. Despite legislative frameworks and policy measures aimed at safeguarding the rights of individuals with disabilities, significant barriers persist, hindering their meaningful participation in the workforce. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted dimensions of job placement and inclusion for persons with disabilities in India. Drawing upon legal, social, and economic perspectives, the paper examines the barriers faced by individuals with disabilities, including physical, attitudinal, and policy-related challenges. It explores the prevalence of disabilities in India, highlighting demographic trends, socio-cultural perceptions, and the intersectionality of disability with other forms of marginalization. Moreover, the paper critically evaluates existing initiatives and programs aimed at promoting inclusion, identifying gaps in implementation and areas for improvement. Through a review of case studies and best practices, the paper offers insights into effective strategies for enhancing job placement and fostering a more inclusive work environment. Furthermore, it proposes policy recommendations and advocacy strategies to address systemic barriers and promote the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities in India. By illuminating the complex dynamics shaping disability inclusion in the Indian context, this paper aims to inform policy discourse, inspire collaborative action, and advance the cause of social justice and inclusivity.
