Description: The rising cost of illness and disability benefits are one of today's biggest social and labour market challenges. The promise of activation - oriented work disability policies was labour market engagement for all people regardless of illness injury or impairment. However the reality has been more complex. The Science and Politics of Work Disability Policy addresses social and political economic contexts driving state work disability reform in 13 countries. In this first attempt to explain the history and future of work disability policy this book asks new questions about work disability policy design focus and effects. It details how work disability policies have evolved with jurisdictions why these take their current shape and where they are heading. The well positioned authors draw on their insider knowledge and expertise in law medicine and social science to provide detailed case studies of their jurisdictions. This pathbreaking volume will be of interest to social security system policy makers scholars and students in the health and social sciences.
