Status of disability and employment laws around the world
Overview
This comprehensive guide to disability legislation across 100 countries provides employers and employees with critical legal knowledge on disability inclusion. The guide covers:
- how disability is defined in each country
- whether mental health and neurodiversity are included
- whether there are employment quotas
- what significant legal cases shaped the local law.
The guide can be used by employers to begin to understand their legal obligations across markets and make informed decisions about global inclusion standards. It helps employees understand their rights and advocate for stronger workplace practices. It also provides a reliable reference point for legal and human resource teams navigating disability legislation across jurisdictions.
The guide is a starting point as understanding minimum legal requirements enables organisations to ask better questions and ultimately build workplaces that go far beyond what’s merely required.
