Employment and MS
About the resource
Work provides opportunities for maintaining or sometimes improving one’s standard of living, for forming new relationships, for learning new things, as well as providing a sense of satisfaction and purpose. In industrialised countries, participating in the workforce also signifies health and unfortunately, this concept often leads to discriminatory treatment of people with MS and others with impairments.
