The Basque Model of Social and Labour Inclusion

Abstract

The Basque Model of Social and Labour Inclusion, managed by social and public initiative organisations from the Basque Country with over 40 years of experience in the sector, has become both a national and European reference in the employment of people with disabilities.

The aim of this report is to carry out a study that analyses the employment of people with disabilities, to then focus on the characteristics of the Basque Model of Social and Labour Inclusion, a distinct model with a long history in the area that has been developed by organisations from the Basque Country. We must not forget the progress for the sector made by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which is why the study will conclude with the analysis of the Basque Model in light of this international convention.
