Why is it important?
Occupational in consideration emerged as a new form of occupational injustice is this study. Three possible alternative disability policy options were identified i.e. Support policies, universal coverage policy and access policy. Among these access policy has the list trade-offs and thus has the highest probability of promoting occupational justice for persons with disabilities in Namibia and similar settings.
Perspectives
Writting this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with vast experience in disability policy, and promotion of occupational participation among persons with disabilities. I hope findings from this study will further strengthen the practice of occupational justice for persons with disabilities especially in developing countries.
