摘要：In this paper we look at the disabled persons in Croatia and their employment. The first part takes note of the importance of their employment as emphasized in various international documents and legislation. The authors observe the actual employment of the disabled people in the Republic of Croatia and their position in the world of employment. The authors use some recent research on the employment issues and the employers’ attitude towards the disabled persons. Subsequently, the paper analyses the position of disabled persons in Croatia based on the research “Disabled persons and the life quality of their families” in which 468 persons from all over Croatia were surveyed. Data were gathered using a semi-structured questionnaire. Indexes used in the analysis included working status, self-evaluation of the financial situation, housing conditions, the scale which evaluated emotions and life satisfaction of disabled persons. In order to analyse statistically significant differences we especially considered employed and unemployed disabled persons on the sample of 206 persons. There were 60 employed and 146 unemployed people among them. The other 252 persons were retired or users of some other resources.
