The Transition to 21st-Century Disability Policy in an Era of Fiscal

Austerity: A Road Map

Webinars

1.. The Transition to 21st-Century Disability Policy in an Era of Fiscal

Austerity: A Road Map

Date: January 20, 2012 - 12:00-1:30pm EST

http://www.disabilitypolicyresearch.org/Forums.asp

The current support system for working-age people with disabilities is failing

to meet the economic aspirations of this population and driving up governmental

expenditures for their support. Drawing on years of research, the speakers will

review the failings of current policy and then discuss an approach to major

structural reforms that could improve the economic status of people with

disabilities, while reducing growth in government expenditures for their

support. They will call for a demonstration period to build the evidence base

and political consensus needed to support major structural change. This proposal

could be incorporated into an effort to address the nation's long-term fiscal

problems while protecting those relying on existing programs in the short term.

This forum will be presented in person and via webinar.
