The integration of a new concept of disability and this dynamic of change was born out of a meeting in September 2022 between two doctors: Dr Marc ROZENBLAT (sports doctor) and Prof Antonio MARCELINO LEAL (occupational physician).

• Around 12 million of France's 65 million people are affected by disability, which will cost the State over €56 billion in 2022.
• In France, companies with 20 or more employees are required by law to employ at least 6% of people with disabilities, while in Portugal the rate is 4%.
• In the event of non-compliance with the OETH (Obligation d'emploi de travailleur handicapé), companies are liable to pay an annual financial contribution to AGEFIPH (Association nationale de gestion du fonds pour l'insertion professionnelle des personnes handicapées) or similar organisations, depending on the country.

In 1998, 1 company in 2
preferred to pay penalties

rather than hiring people with disabilities.

Since then, the figures have not changed.
