π Talk: Employment Policies for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in Japan.
Alhamdulillah, we were very honored to welcome Prof. Jun Nakagawa from Tokyo's Keizei University to give a presentation of his research on the employment policies relating to persons with disabilities in Japan.
We have benefited from the exchange of views and information relating to the topic, especially in making comparisons between the Japanese and Malaysian experiences. Prof. Jun's research enlightened us on the complex factors that impact employability rates and how they are analyzed. This is especially vital in upholding the rights of PwDs and in holding hiring organisations accountable.
The discussions also explored the possibilities of joint research in this important area with IIUM. Further discussions will follow as the way forward insyaβAllah.
Thank you, Prof. Jun for coming to IIUM!
