Bringing together contributions from institutions such as the OECD, the WHO, the World Bank and the European Disability Forum, as well as policy makers and researchers, this volume focuses on disability and work. The contributors address a wide range of issues including what it means to be disabled, what rights and responsibilities society has for people with disabilities, how disability benefits should be structured, and what role employers should play. Fundamental reading for specialists in disability, social protection and public economics, and for social policy academics, researchers and students generally, Transforming Disability Welfare Policies makes an enormous contribution to the literature.

Reviews
'Rapid ageing of societies, increasing costs of social protection and growing concern on the problems of exclusion and marginalisation, make this book on disability welfare policies most topical. It elaborates on the intimate connection of disability policies with labour and economic policies, as well as with social justice and empowerment. It offers valuable reading for all those who like to broaden their understanding on disability and for researchers, designers and decision makers on disability policies it is a must.' Dr Raija Gould, Finnish Centre for Pensions, Finland
