Some 43 million Americans have one or more physical or mental disabilitis under the "Americans with Disabilities Act". ADA is targeting not only employment discrimination, but also discrimination in housing, public accomodations, education, transportation, and communication. The ADA prohibits virtually all employers from discriminating against a qualified individual with a disability in regard to job application procedures, hiring, adavancement, termination, compensation, and training. This paper examines rights of Americans with disabilities and rights of social welfare of Japanese with disabilities.
