Summary/Abstract |
Europeans with disabilities continue to face lack of opportunity in areas including education and employment. The extent of such disparities, and policies to address them, vary across the member states of the European Union. In 2000, an EU directive on employment equality set antidiscrimination rules, including requirements for employers to offer reasonable accommodations to disabled workers, that were subsequently adopted by member states. But a comparison of disability policy in France and Sweden shows that divergent approaches to labor rights remain in place, with France relying on quotas while Sweden offers job training programs.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper advances three inter-linked arguments about the NDA government’s performance on labor reform. First, like its predecessors, the NDA government has continued to “reform by stealth,” facilitating backdoor policy changes rather than effecting them through overt decision-making. This has involved, among other things, relying on state-level leaders in India’s federal system to negotiate awkward political dilemmas. Second, though the NDA avoided directly reforming core labor legislation, it nevertheless helped to nudge labor reform from the narrow confines of elite politics onto the terrain of mass politics – an important aspect of the transition from first- to second-generation reform. Third, on the other key indicator of this transition – the building (or resuscitation) of institutions – there has been little progress. Indeed, the institutions necessary to manage the transition to a new labor-relations regime have been actively undermined, not least as a result of the Machiavellian politics involved in the process of reforming by stealth
