At the end of 2016, in Romania the number of persons with disabilities who were employed was less than 35,000. In order to give people with disabilities the opportunity to live autonomously and contribute to all aspects of life, without being marginalized or excluded, the Government has issued OUG No. 60/2017 for the amendment and completion of Law No. 448/2006. This Emergency Ordinance provides for measures to ensure an increase in the employment of such persons.
