Guideline aims to protect working rights of disabled

The central government has taken measures to tighten the supervision on improper or illegal behavior encroaching on the working rights of people with disabilities to ensure they can live dignified lives and participate in more friendly working environments.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the China Disabled Persons' Federation recently released a guideline focused on protecting the working rights of the disabled.

Under the guideline, the ministry and the federation are urging local governments to improve their employment services to jobseekers with disabilities and to introduce them to employers free of charge.

In addition, human resources agencies and recruitment companies should set reasonable fees for their efforts to find jobs for disabled workers and are encouraged to lower their commissions.
