BEIJING, July 1 (Xinhua) — China’s State Council Office recently released a plan to promote employment for people with disabilities. The document, scheduled for three years (2025-2027), aims to increase their employment opportunities and expand the range of public services provided to them.
The plan encourages government agencies, budget institutions and businesses to play a leading role in hiring people with disabilities. The plan also encourages self-employment, flexible working hours and assistance in finding employment. Targeted support will be provided to specific groups of people, such as people with disabilities studying at higher education or living in rural areas, as well as the blind.
According to the action plan, a single digital platform will be developed that will integrate employment data for persons with disabilities across the country. In addition, efforts will be made to improve the employment service system.
Disability service organisations and related service providers will be urged to play a more active role in identifying suitable employment opportunities for persons with disabilities and assisting them to increase their own income.
There are more than 85 million people with disabilities in China, accounting for about 6 percent of the country’s total population. From 2022 to 2024, China implemented a plan to increase employment and expand business opportunities for this social group. -0-
