Question 34225 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Cédric Villani questions the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for people with disabilities, on the employability of people with disabilities. The law of July 10, 1987 requires any employer in the private or public sector and any public establishment of an industrial and commercial nature employing 20 or more employees to employ 6% of its workforce as disabled workers. However, according to the Fund Management Association for the professional integration of disabled people (AGEFIPH), 9% of them do not employ any disabled person and prefer to pay fines, others opt for internships or fixed-term contracts. Only 34% of the companies concerned employ at least one disabled person on a permanent contract. In the country, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities is 16%, a rate twice as high as the rest of the population. Thus, the France is lagging behind other European countries which have implemented real inclusion policies in terms of employment of disabled people such as Sweden or Austria, with employment rates of disabled people above 60%. The MP welcomes the temporary measures announced on the occasion of the European week for the employment of people with disabilities, in particular the extension of hiring aid put in place works within the framework of the recovery plan; but he fears that they will be insufficient. He would like to know if it plans, on the one hand, to strengthen sanctions for companies which do not respect the law, and on the other hand, to put in place structural financial measures, such as reductions in contributions, for the recruitment of disabled employees.
