Close to 6,600 organisations in Singapore received a wage credit in 2022 that supported their employment of over 10,000 persons with disabilities (PWDs)
MOM added that the number of persons with disabilities placed into jobs with support from the ODP has remained stable at around 500 each year over the last three years.
