66. Recommendation: Public and private entities should accept persons

with mental disability who have been treated to work. This would help

eliminate prejudices against persons with disabilities and contribute to their

acceptance by society. Moreover, remedial measures should be provided to

persons with disabilities who have to leave their job due to stigmatization in

the workplace.

67. The spaces for sale of goods and services that companies have

provided to persons with disabilities in accordance with Section 35 of the

2007 Act are sometimes not suitable for the intended purposes and thus

are not truly beneficial. For persons with disabilities who cannot work, the

government should adopt measures to promote employment of their

parents/caregivers instead so that they have earnings to support persons

with disabilities under their care.

68. Recommendation: The measures to promote employment of persons

with disabilities stipulated in Section 33 of the 2007 Act should be

amended to benefit caregivers of persons with disabilities who are not able

to work such as persons with serious mental and intellectual disabilities

and those with autism. State agencies and companies should be able to

hire caregivers of persons with serious disabilities so that they can earn an

income to look after persons with disabilities under their care. With regard

to the provision of other assistance in accordance with Section 35,

concerned government departments should be more flexible in

determining the form of assistance that can be provided to persons with

disabilities apart from sub-contracting. The purchase of products made by

persons with disabilities should be regarded an assistance provided for by

the law.
