| Итог: | What explains the continued presence of sheltered workshops in the working lives of people with disabilities? Despite global movements towards inclusion and equal access to the open labor market, sheltered workshops remain a prominent feature of disability employment policy, especially for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This article addresses the future of segregated employment in light of disability human rights law guaranteeing a right to work, most prominently in the CRPD’s employment provisions. In addition, the article examines the UN Committee’s calls towards their gradual abolition, the Committee’s attempts to clarify what counts as segregated employment, and the linking of this segregation to the deinstitutionalization principle. In light of the limitations of human rights doctrine to address the persistence of sheltered workshops, this article then turns to critical disability scholarship on prison abolition, deinstitutionalization, and modern slavery law to suggest new frameworks for theorizing the path towards abolition of segregated disability employment. |
