SDG 10.5 Proportion of Employees with Disabilities

Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia

Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) recruits and employs lecturers and administrative staff without discrimination, provides an accessible campus and supports employees with disabilities through reasonable adjustments. In December 2025 it had 169 employees, of whom 2 reported a disability, or 1,18 per cent (Table 1).

Table 1. Employees with disabilities, 2025.

1. Number of Employees

According to the records of the Directorate of Organisation, Personnel and Law, UIII had 169 employees in December 2025, all employed full time: 53 lecturers and 116 administrative staff.

Table 2. Employees and employees with disabilities by category, December 2025.

Definition: Employees who report a lot of difficulty, or cannot do at all, at least one of the functions in the Washington Group Short Set on Functioning (seeing, hearing, walking, remembering or concentrating, self-care, communicating), or who are recorded as persons with disabilities in personnel records

Data: This data is based on the reports from the work units where the two employee are assigned.

Groups of fewer than five employees are combined so that no employee can be identified.

2. Legal and Policy Framework

Law No. 8 of 2016 on Persons with Disabilities guarantees persons with disabilities the right to work without discrimination and to reasonable accommodation, and requires government institutions and state-owned enterprises to employ persons with disabilities as at least 2 per cent of their employees (Art. 53). UIII’s own instruments support these rights:

1. Non-discrimination. Rector’s Circular No. 1c/Rek/UIII/SE.01/1/2025 (jdih.uiii.ac.id/detail/474) commits UIII to equal opportunities, access and services regardless of physical ability, guarantees the rights of people with disabilities, and requires every lecturer and staff member to keep the workplace free from discrimination, harassment and bullying, with sanctions for violations.

2. Disability-friendly work units. The same circular requires all work units to develop disability-friendly programmes and services and to provide disability-friendly facilities in all faculty buildings and work units.

3. Disability Services Unit. Rector’s Decree No. 40A/R/2025 established the Technical Implementation Unit for Disability Services, which receives complaints, provides assistance and follows up cases for members of the University with disabilities.

4. Open recruitment. UIII’s Statute requires a personnel system that is open and performance-based (Government Regulation No. 23 of 2019, Art. 52(2)), and Rector’s Regulation No. 4 of 2025 sets open, staged recruitment published on the UIII careers page.

3. Accessible Workplace

All completed campus buildings follow universal accessibility principles, so that employees with disabilities can reach and use every workplace (Table 3).

Table 3. Accessibility facilities in UIII buildings.

Since the disability is mental in nature, the adjusment provided take the form of flexible work hours, in accordance with university policy.

SDGs Relevance: Decent Work and Economic Growth (8.5), Reduced Inequalities (10.2, 10.3), Sustainable Cities and Communities (11.7)

4. Method

2. Employees with disabilities: employees recorded as persons with disabilities or identified through the voluntary self-declaration form based on the Washington Group Short Set, each counted once.
