Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v104 n7 p404-418 Jul 2010
The aim of this systematic review of the literature is to increase understanding of the factors that influence the labor force participation of persons who are visually impaired. Labor force participation was associated with many factors, such as communication training and education. Future research should focus on high-quality studies of labor force participation and underemployment in more countries. (Contains 1 figure and 5 tables.)
