doi:10.5771/9783845291673

Summary

Seit über 10 Jahren gibt es die UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention. Wie ist es mit dem Menschenrecht auf Arbeit im Sinne der Konvention bestellt? Wie „offen, inklusiv und zugänglich“ sind Arbeitsmarkt und Arbeitsumfeld für Menschen mit Behinderungen?

Dieser Band enthält Beiträge einer internationalen Tagung, die im März 2017 in Kassel stattgefunden hat. Das Recht auf Arbeit nach Art. 27 UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention und die Bedingungen seiner Realisierung werden grundsätzlich und konkret aus Sicht der Rechts- und Sozialwissenschaften, von Politik und Praxis beleuchtet.
