| Persons with disabilities comprised about 0.55% of the resident labour force. Most go into hospitality, F&B, wholesale and retail/admin support, with a median monthly income of $1,000 - $2,800. | Low supply and diversity of job opportunities, and rigid employment models for PWDs. | There is no knowledge of retention rates/duration of disabled people in their various jobs. |
