[Socio-economic aspects of rehabilitation (author's transl)]

Rehabilitation must not only be identified as the total services provided for disabled persons, but also in relation to its effects on society as a whole. In addition to the general interdependency between socio-political measures, prime emphasis is placed on the principal social and economic relationships. In particular, attention is drawn to the specific characteristic of human work as an expression of personality, investment in human beings, productivity of rehabilitation efforts, and aspects of operating efficiency.
