Abstract:
There is often confusion between the notion of disability in everyday life in society and the more specific notion of disability in the workplace. A health problem cannot be considered as a disability in everyday life, even if it makes life less agreeable, but can become one in the context of a professional activity. What and who exactly do we mean when we refer to disabled workers? Here we explore the different types of disabilities and their effects on employment as well as the tools currently available.
