Abstract

In the previous chapter, we discussed the importance of major international documents for creating conditions conductive to the employment of people with disabilities and running a new type of public disability policy at national level. In this chapter, we want to identify and discuss the bundles of factors affecting the employment of people with disabilities by companies and public institutions on domestic and local labour markets. We identify these factors in the subsystems of law, economy, society and culture, and organisational level of enterprises or labour market institutions (public/non-public). In our opinion, the effect of employment for people with disabilities is a result of the synergy of all the factors.
