The employment of persons with disabilities: Accounting for employment satisfaction and discrimination claims

A CNA article brought critical attention to the challenges that persons with disabilities (PWDs) face when looking for a job in Singapore (CNA, Mar. 22). Currently, 28.6 per cent of PWDs aged 15 to 64 are employed – mostly in “community, social and personal services, food services, administrative and support services and manufacturing” – and another 4.2 per cent who fall within this age range are unemployed but actively looking for employment. Yet, at the same time, it would be productive to also focus on employment satisfaction among those who have a job as well as increase awareness of and examine discrimination claims.
