Across OECD countries, one in seven working-age adults identifies as having a disability. Many are excluded from meaningful work and have low levels of income and active social engagement. Becoming sick or disabled often leads people to leave the labour market even if they maintain work capacity and willingness to work. Governments and employers can help create an environment that prevents sickness and disability, promotes return-to-work and enables persons with disabilities to thrive in their job. The COVID-19 pandemic and its toll on physical and mental health has made the creation of an enabling environment more important than ever. This report proposes policy recommendations to the Irish government to improve the participation of persons with disabilities. Ireland has one of the highest disability employment gaps in OECD countries. Disability employment policy has seen significant improvement in the past decade but the reforms have not produced the desired results. This report shows that engaging employers is critically important to getting and keeping persons with disabilities in work. It also highlights the importance of further structural change and accessible and sufficiently resourced public employment and adult learning services to create a labour market that works for all - including for persons with disabilities.

The Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015 ban discrimination on the ground of disability in employment, including training and recruitment, and require employers to take appropriate measures to accommodate the needs of current and prospective employees with disabilities. The state operates a Reasonable Accommodation Fund for private employers that consists of a wage subsidy scheme, a workplace/equipment adaptation fund, an employee retention grant scheme and a disability awareness support scheme. Part 5 of the Disability Act 2005 maintains a 3 % quota of employment of persons with disabilities and has been complied with since its inception. The National Disability Authority suggests that significant work remains to increase this quota to 6 % by 2024, as per the Comprehensive Employment Strategy 2015-2024. The National Disability Authority funded OECD research in Ireland, published in 2021, with regard to employer engagement and system-wide changes to support people with disabilities into employment. It noted how 'Ireland has an underdeveloped employer engagement structure with respect to information and support for the employment of persons with disabilities'. In this vein, the OECD made a number of recommendations of steps that could be taken to improve getting persons with disabilities into sustainable employment. A review in 2019 of the obstacles and opportunities to reasonable accommodation in the workplace in Ireland provides a good practice guide for employers, covering topics ranging from generating disability awareness within the workplace to creating policies and procedures to address inclusive recruitment, including reasonable accommodation requests.

The deep and rapid changes in the world of work driven by the digital and green transformations as well as population ageing have been associated with greater job instability, with potential costs for companies, workers and society. The unprecedented labour and skill shortages that emerged during the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic have raised further the importance of developing and retaining talent.

Revealing higher education inclusive practice in action, this key title showcases a range of international case studies from a number of universities in order to highlight approaches to developing a culture of access and inclusion. It provides detailed information on how to transform institutional commitment to access and diversity into systemic change and the creation of a university for all. By deconstructing assumptions and practices and offering a range of inclusive techniques and case studies to challenge and enhance instruction, this book moves the conversation about inclusivity from a concept to a reality. It evokes and prompts solutions to everyday challenges experienced by those working in higher education and offers the reader a ringside seat to its application, implementation and unearthing inclusive practice gems which showcase inclusive practice at its best. Providing a whole-institution perspective of student access and inclusion, citing case studies and sharing real world experience, this book will appeal to academic leaders, faculty and professionals in higher education, as well as policy makers. In particular, those charged with addressing issues of access, diversity and inclusion in higher education will find this a vital read.

This report analyses the sequence of labour market support that individuals receive and evaluates two large public works programmes. It uses rich administrative data and finds positive labour market impacts of the Community Employment and Tús employment programmes. Building on the results of the analyses, the report makes recommendations on how Ireland can further adapt its active labour market policies (ALMPs) to better support its current and future jobseekers. This report on Ireland is the thirteenth country study published in a series of reports on policies to connect people with jobs, and is part of a joint project with the European Commission to strengthen countries’ capacity to evaluate ALMPs. The report is written jointly by the OECD, the Department of Social Protection of Ireland and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
