My brain bleed & revelations of disability, illness, and economic participation
[]
James Padolsey
This group includes a cross-section of society: disabled individuals, caregivers, the recently retired, the mentally ill, the chronically ill, and the neuro-divergent.
Many of these people are left sidelined by the demanding 40+ hour work week and daily challenges including mobility, caregiving responsibilities, learning difficulties, cognitive differences, fatigue, and pain.
Even with its flaws, the current working week was a victory of sorts, won over time by activism and unionization during the industrial revolution.
Isolation and lack of economic participation creates observable negative effects on health [2][5].
By lifting up these groups via economic and community participation, we can slowly improve these inequalities.
