Abstract

The purpose of this research study was to understand the current status and issues of the Working Life cycle of people with disabilities and to obtain basic data for the development of future measures to improve employment management in companies and to achieve smooth employment for persons with disabilities. This report presents the results of the seventh period of research activities, among the 16 years of continuous research from the first to the eighth period.
As a result, "opportunities to confirm and discuss obstacles in the workplace," which is the first initiative in providing reasonable accommodation, has steadily increased since the provision of reasonable accommodation became mandatory.
