Accessibility & Inclusion

Did you know?

• 2.21% (2.68crore) of the Indian population is disabled. The disability advocacy group estimates it to be ~5%, whereas WHO estimates it to be ~15%.
• People with Disabilities lead marginalized life because of several attitudinal, environmental, and eco-system related barriers.
• Education penetration is quite low among People with Disabilities – only 46% are educated, out of which only 1% are graduate
• Only 36% of the disabled population is employed – out of which 78% are male

Lower educational qualifications and lack of employability skills are the most significant barriers in their employment. A few training institutions and  NGOs are focusing on training them as per the sector requirement, thereby enhancing their employability and making them job-ready for future opportunities.

Individuals with Disabilities face several barriers to getting employed. Most of the organizations are still unaware of this large untapped resource pool and the potential value they can bring to the companies. Many organizations are unsure of employing them, as they do not know how to identify the right resource for a job and recruit them.

Social Equity Advisory Services can bridge this gap by working with organizations in helping them become Disability Inclusive & Confident Organization and thereby providing equal opportunities to people with disabilities in the mainstream workplace. Social Equity is a pioneer in its services. The organization was started with the goal to a)  improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization’s disability inclusion agenda & b) provide more employment opportunities to People with Disabilities.
