tbh I’m not from Spain so I haven’t come across describing disability as a number before. but because this is an official designation as you said, now this makes perfect sense
It’s not really “describing disability as a number” per se, like obviously everyone’s abilities are unique and varied, but in this context it might mean what government incentives the employer might be eligible for, and what work capacity the applicant has in terms of hours or something.
It’s similar in Germany. Depending on what your condition is you will get a „Grad der Behinderung“ (degree of disability). For example a missing finger gets you 10%, a missing hand 50% and a whole arm 80%, but also things like sleep apnea (depending on the need and success of treatment), diabetes, and much more.
Depending on the result (multiple conditions are not simply added together) you can get tax credits, benefits for the employer, early retirement, protection from eviction etc.
Yeah, it’s not really describing the disabilty itself, but the severity of the disability. Right now there are different importance numbers for different levels, like 35%, 67%… They could be called “mild”, “severe” or whatever, but I guess that having a numbers allows for future revision of levels and adding new grants/tax exemptions to different numbers. I was kinda pissed that you were posting this on softwaregore without proper context but since the first comment (mine) is clarifying it idc anymore XD.
BTW, it’s the first time I have ever seen that website. If you are looking to relocate to Spain the typical sites for tech jobs are LinkedIn and InfoJobs. Good luck!
I mean we have a similar percentage system. It’s like the bigger the percentage the more your life is impacted by the disability kinda thing. If I recall correctly my brother is like 1-2% disabled because he broke some of his teeth falling off his bike and had to get them fixed.

I know that already, tecnoempleo was just a site I was redirected to by one of the job postings on LinkedIn.
Thank you!
