State employment of persons with disabilities

15. Is the number of persons with disabilities employed by the state both calculated and published?


Although in over 70 percent of countries surveyed some figures on the number of persons with disabilities employed by the state are both calculated and published, in surprisingly few is this actually done both annually and officially: Bulgaria, Canada, France, Slovakia and the UK.
And in at least 10 countries, together with New York state, such figures are neither calculated or published. With around 60 percent of countries qualifying their “Yes”, the inevitable question is “Why?”

The figure is published annually in an official publication, together with some description covering in which state bodies these persons are employed.

Such a figure may be calculated, but is not published. Or it is not an official figure. Or it is only published either ir- regularly or every, say, five years.

Such a figure is neither calculated nor published.
