Abstract
Government legislation, in the form of the Quota Scheme, has proved ineffective in improving the employment opportunities of disabled people in Great Britain and strenuous efforts have been made by the organisation responsible for its implementation-the Manpower Services Commission-to abolish it. In West Germany, however, most organisations employ their quota of disabled people, although this is set at 6%-double the level required of British employers. Is German legislation in this area really more effective? If so, why should this be? And what are the implications for policy in Great Britain?
