Guidelines for Enhancing the Employment of People with Disabilities in the Jordanian Garments Sector
By International Labour Organisation
The garment sector is considered one of the leading sectors in Jordan, and it has experienced continuous growth over the past years contributing to the creation of numerous job opportunities. The “Better Work” program is a partnership between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation which cooperates directly with garment factories to improve working conditions and enforce labour regulations.
The primary goal of this guide is to promote a responsive and inclusive work environment for employing people with disabilities in garment factories. These guidelines promote an inclusive environment for Persons with disabilities by empowering employers to recognize the value and potential of individuals
with disabilities, ensure fair treatment, and facilitate the development and implementation of reasonable accommodations necessary for integrating Persons with disabilities into the production process.
