| Summary: | The goal of this assessment is to
identify barriers and opportunities to the supply of and
demand for labor among persons with disabilities in Russia,
as well as opportunities to increase their participation in
the labor market. The research includes an overview of
legis-lation, social policies, and national programs; an
analysis of qualitative data, including the results of
expert interviews and focus group discussions; and an
analysis of quantitative data, including administrative
information from the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection
(MoLSP) and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (PFR)
and a household survey conducted by the Russian State
Statistical Service (Rosstat). A concerted effort was made
to include and amplify the voices of persons with
disabilities and the organizations that represent their
interests. An assessment was undertaken of social protection
and policy measures to facilitate the demand for and
stimulate the supply of labor among persons with disabilities. |
