WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES-WWDs AND THE DISABILITY POLICY

We need to ensure that at least the disabled women also get good access to the supplemental security income since it is a world wide show that disabled women hardly get a smooth access to jobs and if they do then the jobs are not permanent and if they are then the pay is low and this is not enough to cater for them when considered the extra expenses of paying care givers as well as their special needs. There is also need for disability insurance and workers compensation as well as vocational rehabilitation. This will make the disabled women not to feel as the most disadvantaged women because of their relationship with the labour market and their participation. 

Most of the studies that are done among or about disabled women are seen to pay a lot of attention to women with physical disabilities. Women with mental or other types of developmental disabilities are been for a long time been neglected by the researchers who have examined employment situations of disabled women. What many employers fail to realize is the fact that the disabled women are more productive in the job when compared to the non disabled women, the disabled women are more keen on job and the results are more trusted, very accurate and also reliable as compared to the non disabled workers. There is need to do away with the barriers to employment of the disabled; this may be achieved well when the job places are designed to enable accessibility for the disabled and also the provisions of programmes and technology that will enable the disabled to work efficiently and effectively.
