Sažetak
Women with disabilities are exposed to gender and physical deprivation and represent multiple endangered population. Therefore, we can talk about double discrimination which determine marginalized position of women with disabilities. However, in context of the work market, women with disabilities are profiled as undesirable or unpreferred work force and that is why we discuss about the term of triple discrimination that comes from their physical (disability), gender (women) and economic (women with disabilities on labor market) factors. In the perspective of the patriarchal prejudices, institutional non-sensibility and their’s insufficient visibility in non-educated public sphere, social exclusion of woman with the disabilities on labor market is generated. Unemployment of women with disabilities is a constant in world and local frameworks for which feminization of poverty is at global work. Their inability for active social participation is product of inadequate social system with inarticulate network of cooperation between state, institutions and associations for support and encouragement of women with disabilities. Women with disabilities are forced into lower paying, sexually selected sectors of work, and traditional sexist patterns in employment confirms triple marginalization and for a long period postpone perspective of social chances and possibilities of both women and men, especially of persons with disabilities. From those reasons it is imposed the need for active politics which will, through flexible working incentives, articulate the work position of women with disabilities on work market because progressive economic integration of under-exploited work force of women with disabilities is of multiple social benefit.
