Persons with disabilities face many potential barriers and challenges in finding meaningful employment, staying employed, advancing their careers, and achieving equal pay due to stigmatization, discriminatory practices and lack of an accessible and inclusive work environment.
 
A study entitled ‘Promoting an Inclusive Workplace for Persons with Disabilities in Thailand’ has been conducted in collaboration between UNDP and the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities to better understand the current situation of disability inclusion in the workplace, as well as the barriers to meaningful employment of persons with disabilities. The study also provides practical policy recommendations for both government and the private sector in fostering an inclusive workplace and meaningful employment of persons with disabilities.
