About half of all persons with disabilities within the European Union are without employment, and a large percentage is inactive. To improve the labour market outcomes of persons with disabilities, the Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2021–2030) put forward the Disability Employment Package of 2022, consisting of guidance and practices covering all stages of employment. The objective of this session will be to highlight worthwhile policy advances and what allowed these models to succeed and create societal impact for persons with disabilities within Europe.
