摘要：This review paper focus on one particular group of people; people with disabilities, that is to say people with mental disabilities. Due to the expected decline in the working-age population, especially in European countries, people with disabilities are now often recognized as a valuable resource in the workforce and research into disability and employment is more important than ever. The definition of disability is referring to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization, by that recognizing that disability results from the interaction of person and environment. Key issues, including the complexity of defining disability, the legal situation in Europe and North America concerning disability at work, and barriers and enablers to employment, are discussed. For each of the topics we show important findings in the existing literature and indicate where more in-depth research is needed. We finalize with a concrete research agenda on disability and employment and provide recommendations for practice.
