dc.description.abstract It is a challenge to implement the work and employment policies for Persons with Disability (PWDs). This study explored challenges regarding implementing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in a rural South Africa setting. Participants were seven persons with disabilities (female =four, male= three, age range = eitghteen to fifty five years). The researchers used a semi-structured personal interviews to get challenges regarding implementing employment of PWDs. Findings from the thematic analysis suggest language barriers, perceptions and attitudes towards disability and reasonable accommodation. The participants reported challenges related to reasonable accommodation, access to built environment barriers, assistive devices, and workplace adaptation. These findings have implications for the employers and the working conditions of PWDs. The researchers put a few recommendations at the administrative level forward to improve the PWDs challenges. en_US
dc.description.abstract Este o provocare să implementăm politicile de muncă și ocupare a forței de muncă pentru persoanele cu dizabilități (PWD). Acest studiu a explorat provocările privind implementarea Convenției Națiunilor Unite pentru drepturile persoanelor cu dizabilități (CRPD) într-un cadru rural din Africa de Sud. Au fost intervievate șapte persoane cu dizabilități (4 femei, 3 bărbați, interval de vârstă - optsprezece până la cincizeci și cinci de ani). Cercetătorii au folosit interviuri personale semistructurate pentru a obține provocări în ceea ce privește implementarea angajării persoanelor cu handicap. Rezultatele analizei tematice sugerează bariere lingvistice, percepții și atitudini față de dizabilități și acomodare rezonabilă. Participanții au raportat provocări legate de acomodarea rezonabilă, accesul la barierele din mediul construit, dispozitivele de asistență și adaptarea la locul de muncă. Aceste constatări au implicații asupra angajatorilor și condițiilor de muncă ale persoanelor cu handicap. Cercetătorii au propus câteva recomandări la nivel administrativ pentru a îmbunătăți provocările persoanelor cu handicap. en_US
