Abstract

The article concerns the issue of equal opportunities for disabled employees as sustainable participation in the labor market in selected workplaces in Poland. Disabled people are part of society; therefore, they should not be discriminated against by exclusion and allowed to participate fully in public life. This work analyzes scientific publications and fragments of reports, which have made it possible to draw conclusions on what areas of life disabled people have problems with regarding functioning and what should be changed to improve their quality of life. The aim of the article was to analyze examples of facilities used, among others, at universities that allow disabled people to move safety and freely. The substantive scope includes reference to Polish legal regulations regarding the process of employing disabled people in a balanced labor market against the background of statistical data. The article indicates that workplace facilities for disabled people (mobile and visually impaired) have a positive impact on the functioning of the rest of society due to the elimination of architectural barriers.
