NINETY-nine percent of the 4,8-million disabled people in South Africa are unemployed, Disability Resource Solutions said on Sunday. Managing director Lorna Fick said on the eve of the International Day for the Disabled that one in four families was affected by a person with a disability. ”Corporate South Africa still has a long way to go before it meets the two percent target set by the government in terms of employment. ”This will give substance to the Employment Equity Act which addresses the legacy of discrimination and marginalisation of people with disabilities,” said Fick. She said a recent study by Global Business Solutions of over 150 000 employees in 100 companies found that the average representation of the disabled in the work force declined from 1,02% last year to 0,93% this year. – Sapa
