Inclusion Canada’s employment for individuals with intellectual disability campaign aims to ensure that they are employed at the same rate as the general population.
There are approximately 500,000 working age individuals with an intellectual disability in Canada \u2013 but only one in four, or 25% of, people with an intellectual disability are employed. Currently in Canada the most common response to the employment needs of people with an intellectual disability is placement in a \u2018sheltered workshop\u2019 or day program, where people are typically paid only a small weekly stipend of about $5-$10, if anything at all. This results in exclusion from meaningful paid employment in the community, leaving most Canadians with an intellectual disability unemployed or significantly under-employed.<\/p>
