Disabled people who have a residual capacity for work are considered to be a disadvantaged group on the labour market, in the same way as refugees, widows, orphans, etc.
Under the terms of Law 482/68, any enterprise and public administration employing more than 35 people is required to employ persons from the protected categories in a proportion representing 15% of its total work force.
Specific lists exist for compulsory recruitment, but disabled workers may also register on the ordinary placement list.
