People with disabilities
Of an estimated 1 billion people with disabilities in the world today, some 785 million are of working age. While many are successfully employed and fully integrated into society, most face a disproportionate level of poverty and unemployment. This is a massive loss both to them and their countries. A strategy of including people with disabilities in training and employment promotion policies, combined with targeted supports to ensure their participation, can help disabled persons obtain productive mainstream employment.
The Zero Project 2022 Call for Nominations seeks to identify Innovative Practices and Policies from around the world–centered around enabling accessibility–which helps us implement Article 9 of the UN CRPD and realize a world with zero barriers.
