Wang, P.P., Badley, E.M., & Gignac, M.A. (2004). Perceived need for workplace accommodation and labor-force participation in Canadian adults with activity limitations. American Journal of Public Health, 94 (9): 1515-1518.

Abstract

Paper examines how perceived need for workplace accommodation affects labor-force participation in people with disabilities.

Thus, the provision of adequate workplace accommodations could enhance labor-force participation in people with disabilities.
