Employment and sustainable livelihoods is one of the priority areas
of action identified by the General Assembly to further the equalization
of opportunities of, by and with persons with disabilities. In paragraph
4 of its resolution 56/115, the Assembly
“Encourages Governments, intergovernmental and
non-governmental organizations and the private sector, as appropriate,
to continue to take concrete measures to promote the implementation of
relevant United Nations resolutions and agreed international standards
concerning persons with disabilities, in particular the Standard Rules,
and for the further equalization of opportunities for persons with
disabilities by focusing on accessibility, health, education, social
services, including training and rehabilitation, safety nets, employment
and sustainable livelihoods, in the design and implementation of
strategies, policies and programmes to promote a more inclusive society.”
