abstract = {Background: The inclusion of individuals with intellectual disabilities into the labour market
is a challenge in advanced societies, with only a very reduced percentage of these individuals
being able to access the free labour market. Whilst some progress has recently been made, there
is still a need to further explore the different conditioning factors.
Method: A total of 125 users belonging to the three employment modalities of Occupational
Workshops (OW), Occupational Centers (OC) and Supported Employment (SE), participated
in this study. Differences between modalities were determined for employability, quality of
life, and body composition.
Results: Employability skills were higher for SE compared to OW and OC; the index of quality
of life was higher for OC and SE groups compared to OW; no differences were found in body
composition between groups.
Conclusions: The quality-of-life index was higher for participants performing remunerated
employment modalities and employment skills increased when work was more inclusive.
Key words: Intellectual disability, Employment, Adults, Gender, InBody, Gencat scale,
Employability skills scale.},
