about the decreasing quota for the examination, whether this decline is associated
with a lack of willingness or awareness of government agencies and schools with
regard to job redesign, and whether it will impact the right of persons with
disabilities to civil employment. The MOCS and Directorate-General of
Personnel Administration, Executive Yuan, must urgently review these matters
and make the appropriate improvements.
124. According to the 2019 Survey on the Employment Status of People with
Disabilities, 9.0% of employees with disabilities feel that they are mistreated in
the workplace because of their disabilities, and 39.3% of unemployed persons
with disabilities expressed that they had been mistreated in the workplace or
during interviews within the prior two years because of their disabilities. A review
of the data provided by the MOL revealed that local labor administration
authorities processed 106 employment discrimination claims under the
Employment Service Act, among which 28 cases were related to disability
discrimination, with only two of these cases recognized as discrimination
violations. The NHRC believes that there are clear discrepancies between the
statistics released by the MOL and actual conditions in terms of disability
discrimination disputes and rulings, and recommends that the competent
authorities investigate the unequal treatment of persons with disabilities who seek
employment.

125. The NHRC believes that the economic security guaranteed by the government to
persons with disabilities should not be differentiated based on their civil servant
status, educator status, or laborer status. During regional forums hosted by the
NHRC, a number of disabled persons’ organizations expressed that the pension
regulations under labor insurance laws fail to take into account the rate of aging
of persons with disabilities, resulting in persons with disabilities paying insurance
premiums as required by law, yet not qualifying for pension benefits due to the
nature of their disabilities. As of the end of 2019, 232,850 persons with
disabilities were subscribed to National Labor Insurance, which far exceeded the
number of persons subscribed to public servant and teacher insurance at that time
