Public offices have not made enough effort to employ socially vulnerable groups such as the disabled and high school graduates in recent years, according to a report, Sunday.

According to ALIO, a government-run administration information system, out of the 362 public entities only 669 disabled people landed a full-time job last year, which only accounts for 1.97 percent of the total recruitment pool of 33,890 people.

Currently, the government aims to maintain a 3.2 percent employment of the disabled in government entities.

For the last five years, disability employment has never topped the 2 percent mark.

The disability employment declined from 1.4 percent in 2014 to 1.19 percent for 2016, but since then it has been increasing, with 1.61 percent in 2017 and 1.97 percent in 2018.

High school graduate employment is also below par.

Since 2014, high school graduate employment had been on a gradual decline from 10.16 percent in 2014 to 8.15 percent in 2017, but it picked up a little last year with 8.52 percent.

The government plans to make it mandatory for public entities to employ at least 2,200 high school graduates this year.

Despite the decline in social minority employment, full-time female employment has been on the rise marking 45.86 percent or 15,547 recruits last year, a significant jump compared to 39.65 percent in 2015.
However, female employment is still low in key government positions within government entities.
