Reasonable accommodations

Although the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities calls upon the State parties to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided to persons with disabilities in the workplace, it remains one of the main barriers and challenges that limit the employment of persons with disabilities. The issue of providing accommodations and their cost is one of the concerns mentioned the most by respondents.

Two thirds of respondents believed that it is difficult and costly to provide accommodations for employees with disabilities.
