What are welfare services for people with disabilities?
These are services that support people with disabilities to lead social and daily lives in communities.
ASTOCO Inc. mainly provides services in the field of work and provides support so that people with disabilities can become independent as members of society in their own way.
Social issues
As the birthrate declines, the population ages and the population continues to decline, the decrease in the labor force has become a serious social issue.
The Government has been promoting the employment of people with disabilities as a part of the labor force by raising the legally mandated employment rate to 2.6% in April 2024, and to 2.7% in July 2026. However, an increasing number of people with disabilities are leaving their jobs after a short period of time because they cannot find a suitable job match. In addition, not only companies but also agriculture is facing a labor shortage.
Business features
High performance through attentive services
It is said that the turnover rate of people with disabilities is more than 30% within one year of employment, but ASTOCO keeps in touch with them and their companies after employment, and more than 90% of them continue working.
Contribution to recycling through environment and welfare collaboration
We are working with people with disabilities to do some of the recycling operations of our group companies. This is an initiative where people can engage in challenging work, and at the same time contribute to environmental issues.
Contribution to agriculture through agriculture and welfare collaboration
We cultivate onions, potatoes and other crops on abandoned farmland. We also cooperate with neighboring farmers and help them during their busy season.
