Abstract

The chapter will begin with a brief presentation of who the RTW stakeholders are, with reference to why they are conceptualized as stakeholders. We will then move to a discussion of the various burdens of work disability as they relate to each of the stakeholder groups. This will be followed by a review of the literature relevant to identifying stakeholder priorities. Priorities will then be compared and contrasted, and discussion will be made of ways to move forward in the quest to reduce the burden of work disability.
