The most common difficulty in job hunting (multiple responses) among people with intellectual disabilities was “not knowing which industry, company, or type of work would suit me”. For the mentally challenged, “I can’t find a company that offers the consideration I want,” and for the physically challenged, “I can’t find a company that offers the kind of work I want” were the most common responses, respectively.
A survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare found on August 6th that 81.7% of companies answered that they “do not give special consideration” even if their employees have children with disabilities. Parents of children with disabilities tend to take time off from work to go to hospitals or accompany them, and often have no choice but to give up their careers. The government’s study group is asking companies to provide support that respects the wishes of their employees.

The number of users of a national programme to subsidise the cost of assistance needed during employment so that people with severe disabilities can work was found to be limited to 92 people in 26 municipalities. Many municipalities are reluctant to implement the project because they are unsure whether there is demand for it.
