Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground Productivity-based wage systems are intended to enhance the labour market participation of people with disabilities. Limited scholarship exists regarding the impact of such policies in practice. This qualitative study explored stakeholder perspectives on the Australian Supported Wage System (SWS), including perceptions of fairness and equity.Methods Document review provided context and background for the study. 14 semi-structured interviews were subsequently conducted with a range of stakeholders with knowledge of the SWS.Results Four primary themes were identified, related to assessment processes, value contributions of the system, practice risks and challenges, and ethical tensions.Conclusions The SWS appears to enhance worker choice and inclusion. A variety of factors may reduce the quality of these outcomes, however, and employment systems should support a range of evidence-informed approaches to ensure equitable employment outcomes.KEYWORDS: supported wageslabour market participationsocial inclusionoccupational justiceintellectual disability Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Intellectual disability is defined by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia as a condition affecting intellectual skills and adaptive behaviours including the ability to learn, communicate, reason and retain information.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Association of Commonwealth Universities: [Grant Number 2018-199-141-008340].

基于生产率的工资与人权和职业正义的关系——一项探索性研究

摘要基于生产力的工资制度旨在提高残疾人在劳动力市场的参与度。关于这些政策在实践中的影响，存在的学术研究有限。本定性研究探讨了利益相关者对澳大利亚支持工资制度(SWS)的看法，包括对公平和公平的看法。方法查阅文献，为本研究提供背景资料。随后，我们与一系列了解社会福利制度的持份者进行了14次半结构化访谈。结果确定了四个主要主题，分别与评估过程、系统的价值贡献、实践风险和挑战以及伦理紧张关系有关。结论:SWS似乎增强了工人的选择和包容。然而，各种因素可能会降低这些结果的质量，就业系统应支持一系列循证方法，以确保公平的就业结果。关键词:支持性工资劳动市场参与社会包容职业公正智障披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。注1澳大利亚国家残疾保险计划(NDIS)将智力残疾定义为影响智力技能和适应性行为的疾病，包括学习、沟通、推理和保留信息的能力。本研究由英联邦大学协会资助:[资助号:2018-199-141-008340]。
