Not to mention the anti-discrimination legal practice. However, it is unclear why this discrepancy is so significant in each province (Statistics Canada). The point of interest of this research is to discuss some of the barriers that are creating such discrepancy in the unemployment rate. I will focus on the mechanism of how unemployment increases when these barriers are placed, or not removed, so as to test the hypothesis: the discrepancy in the unemployment rate is related to the failure to remove social barriers. The results of this research will reflect our current policies and assistance. Rehabilitation can also refine existing methodology in terms of helping disabled people retain employment in the long term as it is an essential part of the process.
