Employability skill model development for people with disability (PWD): A Mixed-Methods Approach
Item Type: Book Section
Editor:
Year: 00/12/2023
Abstract: A disability of a human being does not define their identity and capabilities, the skillset does. Employability skills are one of the skills which are highly valued by employers and essential for effective workforce performance. The National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019 report stated that 11.1% of Malaysians above 18 years old who have disabilities in Malaysia are ready for working in industry. However, employers frequently disregard PWD chances due to 'red tape' and challenges in hiring PWDs to work in their company.

Emerging role of daughters in the context of new challenges and opportunities of maintaining family system
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/00/2006
Abstract: My paper is based upon a long term study of the role of educated working women in the maintenance and revitatlisation of the institution of family in India in the urban settings in the era of modernisation. The institution of family has been stressed due to the pressures of nuclearisation and/or downward mobility in urban India. It is more pronounced among the lower-middle and middle classes where the women belonging to these sections are making large scale entry into the spheres of modern education and age employment. It has affected the norms about marriage and family in many ways for women including increase in the age at marriage and remaining unmarried due to the imperatives of career of family responsibilities. But my study has resulted into the conclusion that there is increasing visibility of 'daughter supported families' where the working daughters are performing a) central, b) crucial, and c) useful role in maintenance of the family system inspite of their remaining unmarried. This is a significant change where failure of patrilineality is duly compensated by the constructive role of unmarried working daughters in the continuity of family system.
