Determinants vocational activity and civic activity of the people with disabilities in Poland
Abstract
The aim of this article is to identify conditions of the civic and vocational activity of
the people with disabilities in Poland. Actually it seems that vocational activity as well as
civic activity penetrate each other and, importantly, remain in mutual interactions. However,
being active effectively prevents social exclusion of the persons with disabilities as well as
their families since it allows for much broader social contacts, improves self-assessment,
brings satisfaction and builds up a sense of being a member of a group. Therefore finding,
starting and keeping a job under conditions of the current labor market is not the only
argument for vocational rehabilitation of the people with disabilities but paves them the road
to their social rehabilitation.
Thus the phenomena explained under the proposed project include vocational activity
of the persons with disabilities and civic activity.
