Republic Act No. 10524 expands employment opportunities for persons with disabilities (PWDs). It amends the Magna Carta for Persons with Disability (Republic Act No. 7277) by mandating that at least 1% of all positions in government agencies and private corporations with over 100 employees be reserved for PWDs.

While the act primarily focuses on employment for PWDs, it indirectly benefits children with disabilities by promoting a more inclusive society and ensuring that their future employment prospects are safeguarded.
