This paper develops a Quadruple-Sextuple Helix framework of analysis to investigate the nexus disability and employment. It builds on the path breaking Triple Helix framework developed by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff and the Quadruple-Quintuple Helix frameworks developed by Carayannis and Campbell. We argue that a Quadruple-Sextuple Helix framework of analysis provides a comprehensive approach to understand the opportunities and challenges permeating the nexus between disability and employment. We assembled a sample of 37 nations to test the notion that nations that are able to build cohesive and harmonious Quadruple-Sextuple Helix frameworks will be better capable of fostering the creation of jobs for their people with disabilities. These countries span different levels of economic and social development. The results indicate that the proposed quadruple and sextuple helix models can provide a better understanding of the disparities in unemployment for people with disabilities amongst the nations surveyed.

本文开发了一个四重螺旋结构的分析框架，以研究神经网络的残疾和就业情况。它建立在突破由Etzkowitz和Leydesdorff开发的Triple Helix框架以及由Carayannis和Campbell开发的Quadruple-Quintuple Helix框架的道路上。我们认为，四重螺旋结构的分析框架提供了一种全面的方法来理解渗透到残疾和就业之间的联系的机遇和挑战。我们收集了一个由37个国家组成的样本，以测试这种观念，即能够建立有凝聚力和和谐的四重螺旋结构的国家将更有能力为残疾人提供就业机会。这些国家的经济和社会发展水平不同。
