The Committee notes the detailed and comprehensive report submitted by the Government for the period ending in May 2010. The Government refers to the Programme of Developing Undertakings for Disabled Persons in China under the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006–10) and its schemes implementing measures for rehabilitation, employment and social security of people with disabilities. Eighty-three million persons are covered by the above programme and schemes, approximately 75 per cent of them living in rural areas. The Committee also notes the comments supplied by the All China Federation of Trade Unions in the report indicating that unions in China have done a lot of substantive and effective work in promoting employment of people with disabilities. The Committee invites the Government to supply in its next report an assessment of the measures implemented under the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006–10) and their impact on the integration of people with disabilities in the open labour market giving details on the situation for those in rural and poorer areas (Articles 2, 7 and 8 of the Convention). It also invites the Government to include in its next report with decisions taken by the courts and other authorities in ensuring the effective equality of opportunity and treatment between men and women workers with disabilities and other workers (Article 4 and Part IV of the report form). In addition, the Committee would welcome statistics and relevant data, as much as possible, disaggregated by age, gender and nature of the disability; extracts of reports, studies and inquiries concerning the matters covered by the Convention (Part V of the report form).
