Abstract

Inclusion of people with disabilities in the workforce is a critically important issue in the contemporary society. In a society that increasingly recognizes diversity and inclusion as fundamental principles, it is essential that we prioritize our efforts to ensure fair access to employment opportunities for all people in the community, enabling them to achieve their full potential. Having a disability should not hinder a person's ability to pursue a professional career or obtain decent employment. However, people with disabilities face several obstacles in different regions of the globe when it comes to securing and maintaining a job. These people face several obstacles in trying to integrate into the labour market, including discrimination, limited access to adequate education and training, insufficient infrastructure and social prejudices. The used research method is a questionnaire from which we have managed to draw conclusions related to this category of people who can and want to work.
