Employment is one of the most important aspects of the lives of the persons with or without disabilities. At this contemporary age, the work is not only a basic source of income for most families; it is also a form of social connection and status in the community. It is the most effective way to improve the well-being of the individuals, their families and communities. Work provides not only economic satisfaction but it also gives the sense of identity, accomplishment and meaning to a person. It is central to individual identity, social roles and social status. Employment and socioeconomic status are the main drivers of social gradients in physical health, mental health and mortality. Conversely, joblessness is harmful to physical and mental health . Employment can be a significant source of affiliation especially among people with disabilities. According to Schur employment helps people overcome the social isolation that often accompanies disability as well as lead to the development of civic skills that facilitate participation in a variety of community and political activities outside the workplace. It also has a significant impact in escalating the perception that people with disabilities receive equal respect and has equal influence in the political system, reflecting their greater sense of inclusion in mainstream society. Unemployment is associated with poor mental health and well-being. Disability status has a significant predictive effect on an inability to work. Thus, it's a vicious cycle of health, work and well being. Studies reflect that the attainment of education and participation in economic activity are extremely important for the empowerment of disabled population. Also, to overcome the exclusion, people with disabilities and their households must have access to and participation in market work or livelihoods and should break some of the circular links between disability and poverty . Moreover, for all persons in working age, employment is a key element towards combating poverty and to achieve social inclusion and participation in society. This applies equally to persons with disabilities. The people with disability should be encouraged and supported to work which not only will enhance their health & well-being it will also improve quality of life that contributes to life satisfaction for persons with disabilities.
