Singapore aims to have 40% of working-age persons with disabilities employed by 2030, up from about 30 per cent between 2020 and 2021.

The goal was set out in the fourth and latest road map, launched on Wednesday (Aug 17), to support PWDs and enable them to contribute to society.

The Enabling Masterplan 2030 also laid out initiatives for employers that would move the country towards this goal over the next eight years.

In The Straits Times’ The Big Story, Multimedia Journalist Hairianto Dirman spoke with J R Karthik, CEO of social service agency AWWA to weigh in on the initiatives.
