This research investigates sheltered workshops and the way they contribute to the objective of inclusion of persons with disabilities onto the open labour market in France and in Sweden. Based on different research methods (interviews, observations, collection and analysis of official documentation), our work proposes a transversal analysis of the interdependence of the different levels of policies. By adopting a comparatist approach with Sweden, presented as a model in terms of inclusion, we shed light on the French case by contrast. In a context of increasing labour market demands, our research sheds light on the way specialized devices supporting the inclusion contribute to disabled people’s job placement onto the open labour and/or to an alternative professional activity. Analysing the concrete ways to implement the inclusive model of policies toward disabled persons furthest from the labour market, we nuance the opposition between the objective of inclusion onto the open labour market and specialized institutions. We show that these policy models are cumulative rather than substituting each other. In both France and Sweden, a large sheltered employment sector is maintained. In Sweden, the appropriation of the inclusion objective by all those involved in professional integration has led to a wide dissemination of supported employment methods so that even the beneficiaries of specific schemes work in an ordinary environment. In France, the inclusion objective has remained bounded to the disability sector. New dedicated devices were thus created, indirectly leading to a strengthening of the specializations of the different actors within the disability sector.

Research

Since 2014, I participate in the research program on the employment of people with disabilities that links EHESP, FIPHFP and GEPSo. I conducted a study on the practices of public employers in meeting their obligation to employ people with disabilities. I did a PhD research in sociology on sheltered employment in France and Sweden, which studied the way the objective of including people with disabilities in the mainstream transforms this sector of public policies. In connection with the conclusions of my PhD research, I am now interested in the articulation between occupational risk prevention policies and employment policies for people with disabilities within public service hospitals. While public authorities and employers are pleased with the increase in the employment rate of disabled workers, it appears that many of them are workers who have been reclassified following the recognition of their inaptitude for their duties as caregivers. It is therefore a question of analyzing the permeability between professional wear and tear and disability in order to question more broadly the possibilities of adapting work to the needs and capacities of agents.
