and connection is unsatisfactory. These findings highlight the fact that sheltered workshops fail to help persons with disabilities enter the open labor market, as stated in the CRPD. The NHRC recommends that the MOL review the current status of sheltered workshops and their functions and seek solutions to improve the sheltered employment function of sheltered workshops for persons with disabilities. 122. According to Points 68 f) and 69 f) of the Concluding Observations of the ROC's Initial CRPD Report, the effectiveness of the employment quota policy has failed to meet expectations. It is recommended that the government re-evaluate the existing policy and design an effective alternative. The CRPD Second Report highlighted increases in both the employment of persons with disabilities and the rate of employment of persons with disabilities to show that the employment quota policy was beneficial for persons with disabilities. However, the employment quota characterized in Article 38 of the PDRPA has not been revised in the last 14 years. The required employment quota for private schools, organizations, and institutions has remained at 1% since 1990. The only amendment was the downward adjustment of the employment requirements to no less than one person with disabilities per 100 employees to one per 67 employees. A review of the list of private institutions that failed to meet the employment quota posted by the MOL showed that most of the non-compliant institutions were in the technology and finance industries, and even included TWSE-listed and TPEx-listed companies. Because Table 27.10 of the CRPD Second Report only provided an overview of the current status and failed to highlight compliance in the private and public sectors on an individual basis, the NHRC sent a letter to the MOL requesting non-compliance data of private sectors for the years 2016 to 2019. A review of the data revealed a year-over-year increase in the number of non-compliant institutions from 8.7% to 9.8%. The data also showed that the overall non-compliance rate of non-compliant private institutions was 41%, suggesting that these private institutions opted to pay the difference subsidies. 86
