2. Work placement and economic
autonomy are very important
factors for social integration of
people with disabilities.
The situation of disabled people in
Italy.
According to ISTAT (National
Statistical Institute) data,
3.000.000 units are disabled
people, that is 5% of the entire
population. In particular 40% of
them are male and 60% women.
3. Disabled people may be listed as follows:
A) by typology:
Motors (most of them live in wheel-chair)
Sight
Hearing (most of them are deaf-and-dumb)
Mental
B) by age:
< 6 years of age
6 – 14 years of age
15 – 64 years of age
> 64 years of age
4. The art. 3.2 of the Italian Costitution says: “It is the duty of the
republic to remove all economic and social obstacles that, by
limiting the freedom and equality of citizens, prevent full individual
development and the participation of all workers in the political,
economic, and social organisation of the country”.
5. Notwithstanding the remarkable legislative action aiming to improve social
integration of disabled people, it is estimated that only
16% of disabled people in working age has a proper job compared to
54% of people with their same age but without any disability.
6. People with sensory disabilities have
a higher employment level than
people with other disabilities.
61% of people with disabilities are
very or quite satisfied with their job,
while 47% are little or not at all
satisfied.
7. The greater number of people with disabilities is
employed in tertiary sector with a percentage of
60% for people with a continuous limited
autonomy;
industry hosts 30% of people with a continuous
limited autonomy;
finally the percentage of the agricultural sector is
of 9%.
8. Italian law has had a significant development in that field, in fact the 68/99
Act “Norme per il diritto al lavoro dei disabili” (Law for right of working
disabled people), promotes work placement and work integration of disabled
people.
This law embodies some fundamental principles such as compulsory
employment quota system.
Based on the size of the workforce, both private and public sector employers
are required to hire a certain percentage of disabled workers:
• Employers with more than 50 employees must meet a 7% disability
employment quota;
• At least two disabled workers must be hired in workplaces with 36 to 50
employees;
• Workplaces of 15 to 35 employees must hire at least one disabled worker if
they operate new intake.
9. The placement of the disabled people must respect
the working capacities of the workers without
penalizing the expectations of the employing
company.
The 68/99 Act foresees an incentive for the
enterprises which conform their behaviour to the law:
exempting the companies from social security taxes
up to 100% and up to eight years proportionally to
the disability of the workers to be employed.
10. Employers who do not meet the disability employment
target must pay a compensation fee to a specific fund
(Fondo regionale per l’occupazione dei disabili). Moreover
the law provides some services in order to facilitate the
access to work of Disabled by the Public Employment
Services, through special sections of the Job Centres.
11. In Italy there is a good trend to create positive conditions for the access to the work of the
disabled people. All the above quoted laws and acts confirm such trend, even if sometimes the
practical implementation of these rules is very difficult and disabled people can not really exert
and enjoy their rights concretely.
