“…These have also found their way into German disability policy and come back into focus with the ratification of the UNCRP (Misselhorn and Behrendt 2017;Wansing, Welti & Schäfers 2018). At the same time, a critical debate on the meaning and purpose of wage labour -as it is being held in the United Kingdom (Grover and Piggott 2015) -only plays a subordinate role in German-speaking disability research (Karim 2022;Misselhorn and Behrendt 2017;Wansing, Welti & Schäfers 2018).…”

The normative and political call for an inclusive working world as the UNCRPD explicates is not consistent with the current employment realities of people with disabilities in Germany and in the Nordic countries such as Iceland, Norway or Sweden. Only a fraction is able to find employment on the labour market, while segregated systems are expanding at the same time. We reference the 'Work 4.0' discourse with a particular focus on substitutability potentials and automation processes in the course of digitalization. These developments go hand in hand with the pluralization of employment constellations as well as progressive expansion of education and devaluation of qualifications. This article takes a critical look at these processes of change in the working world with regard to their effects on people with disabilities. The central contradictions between political, legal, and normative demands for employment realities to be organized inclusively as well current developments in the area of technology, employment, and knowledge are discussed.
