The Institute for Work & Health released the Supporting Young Persons with Disabilities in the Future of Work report based on a three-year Delphi study funded by Accessibility Standards Canada. The objective of the research was to forecast changes in the world of work and examine the implications for the employment inclusion of young persons living with a disability. The Institute for Work & Health sought to generate actionable solutions that could be leveraged to ensure greater employment inclusion of persons with disabilities and enhance resilience in the design of policies, programs, and strategies to address changes in the future of work.

Survey participants ranked the proposed strategies according to their perceived likelihood of supporting employment inclusion across the six challenge areas. The top-ranked strategy for each challenge area is presented below.

Challenge 1: Impact of advanced digital technologies
Strategy: Help youth and young adults with disabilities learn new job skills by providing greater access to lifelong training

Challenge 2: Artificial intelligence in human resource decision-making
Strategy: Apply a diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility lens to the design and application of AI in HR programs

Challenge 3: Digital globalization
Strategy: Enforce a minimum standard for accessibility and employment rights internationally

Challenge 4: Cultural tensions around workplace inclusivity
Strategy: Build employer confidence to create disability-inclusive workplace cultures

Challenge 5: Climate change
Strategy: Increase options for remote work and flexible work arrangements

Challenge 6: External shocks speeding up the pace of change
Strategy: Facilitate employment in stable jobs that may be less affected by shock events

Policy-makers, employers, employment service providers, and others may leverage these insights to develop approaches that advance disability inclusion employment policies and programs for young persons. Access the report here.
