Abstract	The papers in this volume synthesize international disability policies, providing a cross-national perspective on disability definitions, the criteria for entitlement to disability benefits, and measures to facilitate a return to work for disabled individuals. Two papers, which were presented at the International Research Conference on Social Security Disability Programs held April 14-15 1986 make up the bulk of the book. Monroe Berkowitz and David Dean synthesize the common features of eight national disability programs (in Austria, Canada, Finland, the Federal Republic of Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) and compare their program administration, criteria for receiving benefits, financing, legal issues, and rehabilitation approaches. Peter Mitchell focuses on the unique objectives of each program, the extent of benefits and services provided, links to vocational rehabilitation, and the range of ancillary services for program beneficiaries, highlighting the policy choices of each nation and their effects on disabled individuals. Appendices contain definitions of disability, a selected bibliography, and a list of publications by the World Rehabilitation Fund. (JDD)
