dc.description.abstract | This research aims to study access to work opportunity, opinions on relevant factors of work opportunity and factors related to work opportunity. This quantitative research covered 398 persons with physical disabilities working in Samutprakarn Province according to the performance report of Ministerial Regulations on Employment (Disabled Persons) for the Year 2009 prepared by Samutprakarn Provincial Social Development and Human Security Office. With the Simple Random Sampling Method and Multi - Stage Sampling Method, the sample size was 196 as set by Krejcie and Morgan Table and classification lists by district and sub-district groups. It was found that knowledge on job application was at the low level; consultancy and job application was at the moderate level; and employment was at the low level. The first reason of employment was skills responding to employers needs, followed by opportunity provided by employers. The occupational training and different occupation analysis had relationships with consultancy. From this study, the recommendations are that, persons with disabilities should be supported to access various training services, employers employing persons with disabilities and recognizing their capability should provide information to employer associations in order to provide more work opportunity to persons with disabilities, families should encourage self reliance of children with disabilities to have jobs and incomes. Persons with disabilities should develop their occupational skill and knowledge to strengthen their capability to meet employers’ needs. | en_US |
