Respondents who have heard of DCT around Nqutu
5.5 FUTURE RESEARCH
For future research and endeavours based on the findings of the study the recommendations are:
5.5.1 There should be consideration for future research that will investigate bias in the labour market by employers directed against people with disabilities. The findings can
98 display reasons why the number of people with disabilities in the labour market is still low.
5.5.2 Further research to be considered is to investigate whether the Disability Cash Transfer empowers people to make positive changes in their lives, or it is just a safety net that encourages dependency on the government for support.
5.5.3 There should be a consideration of conducting a large-scale mixed method study that will cover a broader scale of municipalities in South Africa. The study will help assist the Department of Social Development find and correct their flaws and that of their grant distribution agency (SASSA). The study will also allow people with disabilities to voice their concerns and experiences that they encounter as beneficiaries of the DCT.
5.5.4 Future research should investigate measures, procedures, and selection strategies used by doctors to authenticate people with disabilities so that they can become beneficiaries of the DCT.
