Fit To Work

"Fit to Work" is a specialized book by Gauri Sharma that provides a comprehensive examination of the employability of people with disabilities (PWDs) in the context of liberalization and globalization. The author analyzes the alarming gap between employment opportunities for people with disabilities and the available skilled workforce. Despite existing laws and the efforts of activists, the employment rate of PWDs remains low. The book highlights the industry's skepticism regarding the competencies of PWDs and the stereotypes associated with the term "disability." It also addresses the gap between the training provided by NGOs and the requirements of the industry. The author argues that corporate culture, perception, and human resource policies are crucial factors for the employment of PWDs. This book is a valuable resource for professionals in the social sciences who are engaged in issues of inclusion and employment.
