Question 2340 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi alerts the Minister of Labor and Employment to the worrying employment situation of people with disabilities in the country. In this European week for the employment of people with disabilities, she wishes to recall that inequalities in access to and retention of employment persist and is concerned that the situation is further degraded by the Government's desire to reduce the resources allocated to Agefiph. In Indeed, according to the Defender of Rights, disability is the primary reason for discrimination and 37% of complaints relate to employment. A situation far removed from equal rights, which contravenes the emancipation and autonomy of people. Pure and simple exclusion from the labor market is the most glaring exclusion: the unemployment rate for people with disabilities is around 12%, almost twice more than in the rest of the population. The employment rate for people with disabilities working in the private sector is 3.5%, far from the 6% set by the 1987 law. Quotas are sometimes circumvented or poorly applied, with employers not sufficiently penalized for their non-compliance with inclusion policies. In addition, a third of people with disabilities work part-time, often suffered, compared to 17% of the population. general, revealing increased precariousness. Disability is also a tool of discrimination used to keep people in low-skilled positions. Only 10% occupy management positions, compared to 22% for the general population. 75% of workers with disabilities believe that their disability has hindered their professional development. Nearly half report having experienced discrimination, particularly in access to promotions or raises. The limited professional opportunities of people with disabilities can also be explained by interrupted school careers due to a lack of inclusive education. In its report of September 16, 2024, the Court of Auditors describes the reception systems as “fragile”, highlighting an obvious lack of investment. This situation clearly proves that incentive policies are not enough to resolve worrying inequalities. It therefore wishes to know its intentions regarding the fight against discrimination in hiring and during the career of people with disabilities as well as the means implemented to make workplaces truly accessible and inclusive.
