“Wages instead of pocket money” | OTS.at

The position of people with disabilities in working life should be strengthened. The government in the Council of Ministers made 36 million euros available for this on Wednesday. The states are to contribute another 18 million. The long-term goal is to provide people with disabilities in special employment relationships with a salary including social security instead of one pocket money to make it possible for them to be entitled to a pension themselves. Discussions about a change in day-care facilities in the states are continuing, it was said in the press foyer after the Council of Ministers with Social Affairs Minister Johannes Rauch (Greens, right in the picture) and VP club chairman August Wöginger (left in the picture).
