Books by Jody Heymann

Hundreds of millions of people with disabilities around the world are out of work or underemployed. Disability and Equity at Work is the first book to document what can be done to improve the employment situation of people with disabilities globally.

Presents results from a study of working conditions from nations around the world. This book offers recommendations for how individuals and nations can improve their own working conditions in economically viable ways, based on lessons from those that have gotten it right.

Based on over a thousand interviews and survey data from more than 55,000 families spanning five continents, this work is an account of how the conditions of work threaten children, women and men, and the infirm. It addresses problems faced by working families in industrialized and developing countries.
