Sažetak
People with disabilities are a group that requires the support of society in order to get more involved in society and the labor market. The paper examines the progress of the legislative and institutional infrastructure of the Republic of Croatia in ensuring human rights of people with disabilities, as well as their rights to become active participants in social processes by contributing to the development of society within the limits of their abilities. The main aim of the paper is to look at the tendencies and main indicators of the labor market in order to see whether the accomplished legislative and institutional progress resulted in the improvement of the position of people with disabilities in the Croatian labor market. After the review of the key indicators of the labor market is given, it is concluded that the integration of people with disabilities in the labor market still falls significantly behind the progress made in the legislative and institutional infrastructure. One of the reasons for such shortcomings can be found in the educational system, inadequate and outdated educational programs that are offered to people with disabilities, as well as the low inclusion into educational programs at the university level.
