Only one in three young people with disabilities is currently employed, demonstrating the low employment rates among these individuals. Therefore, the government is preparing a draft decree aimed at improving the unemployment rates affecting these young people.
This decree will better coordinate the work of social services and employment services in order to make the most of the information available to them and match job offers to existing demand.
Francisco Moza, secretary general for Social Policy and Consumer Affairs, explained this at the parliamentary session on employment and disability. He also highlighted that the adaptation of the first set of laws to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is already being finalized.
Maravillas Rojo, secretary general for employment, also attended the session and urged public and private organizations, as well as the various government administrations, to improve access to the labor market for people with disabilities.
