Name Enhancing disability-inclusive employment policies in Asia: Challenges, good practices, and policy recommendations
Description

This report investigates how seven member countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Mongolia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Türkiye) are addressing disability-inclusive employment. Through policy analysis and interviews with key stakeholders, the study highlights gaps in legal implementation, societal barriers, and opportunities for reform. While most countries have established national policies aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, enforcement challenges, and social stigma persist. The report provides actionable recommendations for improving access to employment, enhancing vocational training, strengthening public-private collaboration, and ensuring that persons with disabilities can fully participate in economic life.
