Did the percentage of persons with disabilities employed increase in calendar year 2010?
In only six countries were there any indications that the percentage of persons with disabilities employed increased in 2010: Bulgaria, France, Italy, Serbia, Slovakia and the UK. In the case of Serbia, there was in increase due to a new law based on quotas and “sanctions for employers who fail to fulfil their obligations.” Of the 21 countries, together with California and New York state, who responded with a “No” in just under half no statistics were available; in Austria the actual figure decreased; and, in neither Belgium nor Sweden is there any obligation to employ persons with disabilities.
The absence of available figures alone is a matter of grave concern, especially in those countries where there are legal requirements regarding the employment of persons with disabilities.
The percentage increased. Or the percentage has not increased because all companies required by law to employ persons with disabilities actually do so.
The percentage remained the same.
The percentage decreased. Or no figures are available.
