In unofficial statistics only 10% of them are employed – the estimate was announced at a press conference on creating employment for persons with disabilities.

The National Action Plan for employment envisages 30 new contracts for opening jobs aimed at persons with lasting disabilities, the so-called subsidized jobs under the National Program for Employment and Training of Persons with Disabilities in more than 260 municipalities in the country.
