CCTV9英语新闻12月：演播室访谈：对劳动力市场的歧视

December 3rd marks the United Nation's World Day for Persons with Disabilities. This year's theme is: "break barriers, open doors." But despite many reforms in China to boost their employment, opportunities for handicapped job-seekers in the world’s second-largest economy remain far from equal, with just over one in four disabled Chinese holding a job. 

For more insight, we are joined in the studio by Mr. Jin Yi, Director of Beijing Disabled Sports Association.

Q1: Mr. Jin, you of all people know the difficulties people with disabilities can face. From your experience, what progress have we made so far in building a society that provides equal opportunities for the disabled in China?

Q2: But there is still quite some stigma¹ and discrimination towards those with disabilities, especially when it comes to employment. What do you think we can do to nurture² a level playing field?
