China reports 4.8-percentage-point rise in employment rate for people with disabilities over 3 years
China has made steady progress in expanding employment opportunities for people with disabilities, with the national employment rate for this group increasing by 4.8 percentage points during the past three years, according to official data released Wednesday.
These gains were achieved under the country's first three-year action plan to promote employment of persons with disabilities (2022-2024), which helped create nearly 1.65 million new jobs for such people in both urban and rural areas, said Li Dongmei, vice-chairperson of the China Disabled Persons' Federation (CDPF), at a press conference.
