Abstract

The paper aims to share the idea that “Sustainable Development” is not only linked to an environmental dimension, but also to a social one. The reasoning focuses on a specific declination of sustainability within Labour Law, which is identified in the employment inclusion of persons with disabilities, and it develops by taking the Italian legal system as a reference point: after showing its weaknesses and opportunities, the paper sets out a proposal, which is based on the concept of “Offsetting”, embracing it from the environmental framework to the right to work of persons with disabilities.
