Inclusive employment case study
About this project.
We published a case study on best practices in the inclusive employment of people with intellectual disabilities in Bangladesh.
The case study can be used by governments around the world to make work places more inclusive.
Why we are doing this project.
In Bangladesh, people with Down syndrome and learning disabilities often find it hard to get jobs.
Decision-makers do not include people with Down syndrome and learning disabilities when they make plans and policies.
This project contributes to our work on the issue of inclusive employment.
What we did.
We interviewed people with intellectual disabilities, family members and employers in Bangladesh.
We asked them about the barriers that stop people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities from working.
We used this information to write a case study about employment in Bangladesh.
The case study.
Our Case Study on Best Practices in the Inclusive Employment of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities in Bangladesh shares what we learned from the interviews.
It also gives recommendations for the government of Bangladesh and employers to make inclusive work environments for persons with intellectual disabilities and all other employees.
