The Employment Security Fund for Persons with Disabilities is a national mechanism set up to promote employment for persons with disabilities. In recent years，this Fund has been challenged frequently because its usage has stayed unclear to the public. This essay，through an analysis of existing literature and a few investigations of practice，finds that the mechanism has strayed away from its original purpose，in the sense that the employment of persons with disabilities has barely benefited from the Fund. Instead，due to the existence of this Fund，some employers，especially those from the public sector，have been offered a legitimate excuse for not hiring any person with disabilities. As the Fund requires employers to pay a certain amount of fine if they fail to meet the quota，i.e. 1.5% of their employees being persons with disabilities，enterprises are placed under an ever-increasing financial burden，while the governmental arms，such as the CDPF （China Disabled Person’s Federation），are receiving large amount of money which is distributed in a non-transparent way. Based on the above research，the essay finds that insufficient participation of persons with disabilities in the policy-making process is a key factor for the mechanism’s deviation from its purpose，and proposes several advocacy strategies for activists in this field.
