“At the previous meetings in the Ministry of Social Development we have repeatedly discussed the ILO’s support for the employment of persons with disabilities,” ILO National Coordinator Bolotbek Orokov said.
“Very often people become disabled at their workplace, but we have no such statistics. Employers and workers themselves hide their injuries. The problem becomes more pressing in relation to migrants. Therefore coordinated efforts of all interested ministries and agencies are needed,” he said.
