The Right Of Persons With Disability To Decent Work In Palestine “ Field Study” difference between labor market requirements and training content, weak financial capacities of the training centers and lack of information about the requirements of the labor market. Furthermore, the training provided for PWDs is not enough to enable them to get integrated into the labor market and the training centers themselves aren’t well equipped. The experts and specialists of the training programs, according to PWD respondents are not sufficiently qualified. • The three job sectors don’t focus on vocational training upon employing PWDs. Work Injuries • Findings from the field study indicated that 3% of injuries were caused by work incidents (4.4% in Gaza Strip and 2% in the West Bank). • Disabilities received from work incidents were mainly physical disabilities, seeing disabilities and hearing disabilities. • Injuries were concentrated in persons working in the private sector with a rate of 54% (51% in WB, 58% in GS). Meanwhile, 4% of the injuries were concentrated in the governmental and non-governmental sectors. 38% were in other workplaces, including construction, carpentry and in Israel. • The rate of disabling injuries in the private sector was high because it is the main employer in the Palestinian territory and its work is largely comprised manual labor and/or technical maintenance and packaging. This area of work poses risks in light of the absence of public safety precautions. • Work injuries were concentrated in the male respondents only while the majority of disabling injuries among girls and women were caused by traffic accidents, diseases or others. • The findings of the study indicate that 45% of the PWDs were working in the private sector before sustaining a disabling injury while 14.5% were working in the public sector, 4% in NGOs and 36% in other places (Israel, construction, agriculture and private projects). 9
