The disability employment gap in Germany is wider than the EU average and employment segregation in sheltered workshops also presents a challenge as the number of persons in the workshops increase. The main challenge is to expand the participation of persons with disabilities on the regular labour market to battle exclusion and poverty risks. The quota system, the obligation to reasonable accommodation and workplace accessibility should be strengthened. Sheltered workshops have to be transformed to promote inclusion in the regular labour market. The alternative instrument 'Budget for Work' has to be implemented broadly.
