Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

PURPOSE: Racism and ableism have impacts at individual and organizational levels and can produce and reproduce inequities and injustices in diverse contexts. However, their intersection remains largely unexamined in the provision of employment supports. The objective of this qualitative study is to identify barriers and facilitators within employment supports to seek strategies to improve the employment outcomes of racialized disabled job seekers and workers and address gaps faced by service providers and employers. METHODS: This study used interpretive description (Thorne S. Interpretive description: Qualitative research for applied practice; 2016.). Four racialized disabled job seekers and workers, two employers and four service providers from Canada participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke in Qual Res Psychol 3:77-101, 2006) was used to analyze the data. FINDINGS: Five core themes were identified: (1) managing intersectional confusion; (2) employer education; (3) contextual barriers; (4) client-service provider relationships; and (5) urgency for solutions. CONCLUSION: This study provides grounding evidence about common concerns and barriers within existing employment support systems and can assist policymakers and service providers to better understand the complex and nuanced lived experiences of racialized disabled job seekers and workers.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
