We recognize that having a job is important to the PWD as it brings not only income but enables the PWD to contribute and participate in society. However, social inclusion is more than giving people a job; it is also about opportunity and dignity. This research focuses on inclusive employment of PWD with special attention given to four dimensions. First, to identify policy and service gaps that may hamper PWD-inclusive employment. Second, to track society\u2019s PWD-inclusive attitudes. Third, the business community\u2019s attitudes to and readiness for PWD-inclusive employment. Last, to determine if collaborative efforts of NGOs are more effective in promoting inclusive employment than individual efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","research_theme":[55,56],"class_list":["post-11476","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","research_theme-civic-collaboration-and-social-inclusion","research_theme-good-governance-and-ngo"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hku-ccsg.demo.digiec.com\/zh-hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/11476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hku-ccsg.demo.digiec.com\/zh-hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hku-ccsg.demo.digiec.com\/zh-hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hku-ccsg.demo.digiec.com\/zh-hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"research_theme","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hku-ccsg.demo.digiec.com\/zh-hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_theme?post=11476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
