As our society approaches the next century, critical questions are emerging about the nature, composition, and quali®cations of the American workforce of the 21st century. These questions include the following:
(i) Will our increasingly diversi®ed and aging workforce include millions of qualified persons with disabilities?
(ii) What will be the characteristics, capabilities, and qualifications of the workforce of persons with disabilities?
(iii) What types of job training and support, and career opportunity and wages, will be available to the workforce of persons with disabilities?
(iv) How will the dramatic changes that have occurred in the last quarter of the 20th century in the area of disability employment law affect related reforms in education, welfare, dispute resolution, and technology policy?
This special section of the Employment Discrimination issue of Behavioral Sciences & the Law examines issues related to persons with disabilities in the workforce.
