The Problem of Securing Interests of Persons with Disabilities in Accordance with Provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Abstract

The Polish society is unprepared to integrate people with disabilities into the labor market. This is due to inadequate state promotion of existing legislation in this area, which accounts for the lack of preparation of entrepreneurs in the context of the problems of people with disabilities and their knowledge of the hiring. Often unpreparedness leads to violations of basic human and worker rights. Previous attempts to include people with disabilities have been considered as insufficient. In order to prevent the marginalization of people with disabilities in the labor market it is necessary to make further attempts to integrate them into the labor market, despite the many difficulties involved. Special obstacle are the costs incurred by businesses related to the employment of people with disabilities, resulting from the need to adapt workplaces to their needs and to remove architectural barriers.
