title: [Women in occupational rehabilitation--findings of a Federal Rehabilitation Council conference].
abstract: The working programme of the Federal Rehabilitation Council includes the subject of reducing participation disincentives for women in the field of vocational rehabilitation. A working conference in 1990 had already dealt with this topic, and its findings were further scrutinized and substantiated in a second conference in 1993, in order to develop concepts more appropriate than hitherto to meeting the specific requirements present in women-oriented vocational rehabilitation measures. In-depth counselling and the possibility of pre-vocational orientation services were considered particularly important. Both concerning their range of occupational options and their timing as well as organizational specifics, the vocational rehabilitation programmes should to a greater extent be geared to the life situation and life planning of women. Consequently, the issue of community-based, and hence family-friendly, provision of vocational rehabilitation services is an increasing focus of discussion. Model projects have already been drafted or started relative to certain aspects in this field of women-focussed further development of vocational rehabilitation, but an overall concept capable of uniting the various approaches and requirements continues to be out of sight. A project group to help remedy this situation has hence been established by the Federal Rehabilitation Council.
