“…In this review, the most frequently mentioned barrier to participation in major life areas was the lack of access to schooling (i.e. the lack of access to basic, higher education and vocational training) (Bhanushali 2016;Cramm et al 2013;Yazıcı et al 2011;Yusof et al 2014). This impacts the acquisition of job-related skills that are required for one to be employed (Cramm et al 2013;Lee et al 2011).…”

“…Likewise, the studies in the review reported the lack of employment opportunities available for persons with disabilities. In a study by Yazici et al (2011), employers showed a preference in hiring individuals whose disability was less severe in nature, that is, presented with 100% hearing, vision and communication skills (Yazıcı et al 2011). In Bhanushali (2016), 92% of the participants whose disability was severe in nature opted for self-employment because of the barriers experienced with securing employment.…”

“…These prejudices are further complicated by issues of culture, religion, class and geographic location (Bualar 2014;Opoku et al 2017a;Ta et al 2011). Marital status increases the likelihood of being employed (Bengisu et al 2008;Yazıcı et al 2011). In a study by Wolffe et al (2013b), persons with visual disabilities who were married worked more hours, experienced less difficulty in accessing learning and employment opportunities and earned more than those who were unmarried.…”

Background: Unemployment rates for persons with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are high. This is despite the call to action by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Sustainable Development Goals aimed at improving the economic well-being of the marginalised. To improve the employment outcomes of persons with disabilities in these countries, factors that facilitate and hinder employment should be explored.Objectives: This study explored barriers to and facilitators of employment for persons with disabilities in LMICs through a scoping review.Methods: A search strategy included a systematic search of nine databases using specific keywords. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework was used as a conceptual framework and barriers and facilitators were reported according to the domains of the ICF. Articles published between 2008 and 2020 were reviewed using a predefined criteria.Results: Thirty-two studies were identified in the review. Factors were identified in all domains of the ICF: (1) body function and body structure (12; 39%); (2) activities and participation (13; 42%); (3) personal factors (23; 74%); (4) environmental factors (27; 84%).Conclusion: Factors that hinder and facilitate the participation of persons with disabilities in LMICs were mainly found in the environment, with personal factors also influencing participation. The presence of negative attitudes and lack of services mainly in health and transport were major factors within the environment whilst personals factors included the lack of educational qualifications and skills. These results indicate the importance of consideration of contextual factors when developing intervention strategies aimed at facilitating the employment of persons with disabilities in LMICs.

“…However, in order to understand the big picture, disabled people's personal definitions and experiences should also be considered. Previous research shows that the social environment for disabled people in Turkey is truly unfriendly (for example, Koca-Atabey 2016;Tufan 2008;Yazıcı, Şişman, and Kocabaş 2011). In line with Shakespeare's (2008) definition, disability in Turkey is a complex predicament.…”

Telling about something that you do not really know: blind people are talking about vision!

In Turkey, the laws which define disability have become increasingly harsh, and require disabled people to be assessed in order to determine 'how disabled' they are. For blind people, as for other disabled people, these assessments have real consequences. This article aims to discuss an appealing piece that arose during a project, which has bearing on how disabled people tend to answer these questions. The participants are legally blind adults. We, as sighted researchers, asked totally blind individuals to describe their vision. Interestingly, they all answered this question without hesitation. The paradoxical nature of this question was only realized during the analysis. We requested the participants to talk about something they do not really know. This might be a reflection of our overvisualized world and might be due to our subtle prejudices. This type of questioning not only has implications for research, but also for assessments of disability in Turkey.
