Disabled people struggle to find jobs in Latvia

It is still difficult for people with different functioning disabilities to find work because of both environmental accessibility and societal prejudices. The job with his diagnosis has become difficult to do, because he can't work at night or stand for long. Meanwhile, the head of the association of disabled people and their friends Apeirons, Ivars Balodis, estimated that Latvia is currently working on short-term solutions for employing people with functional or mental disabilities. For example, for people with intellectual developmental disabilities who often have the first group, the number of employees is extremely small." Moreover, job opportunities, along with disability benefits, have become more urgent this autumn with the energy crisis and rising food prices.
