Abstract

The article presents some results of a comprehensive sociological research carried out in Moscow in 2018, the purpose of which was to identify the main problems facing people with disabilities (with various types of persistent disorders of body functions) in the capital’s labor market. On the basis of a series of in-depth structured interviews with experts from institutions related to the training and employment of people with disabilities, conclusions were drawn about the features of the selection of vacancies and the problems of adaptation of people with disabilities in the Moscow labor market. The interest of employers in the organization of jobs for persons with disabilities is considered as one of the key issues. One of the issues discussed is the choice between the expediency of creating jobs in the framework of specialized enterprises of the disabled and their integration into the work of ordinary enterprises. Approaches to this issue in different countries have their own characteristics and are determined by the attitude in society towards a person in general and towards a disabled person in particular. The problem of the perception of persons with disabilities in educational institutions and working collectives is considered, and the specific of adaptation of persons with disabilities to digital economy are discussed. There are highlighted the features inherent to social appearance of people with disabilities, as potential employees, as well as the influence of the immediate environment, a kind of ecosystem of a disabled person, on his motivation to work. The social profile of disabled person outlines five key positions in terms of both internal attitudes and environmental conditions affecting employment. In modern conditions of digitalization of the economy, the issues of adaptation of disabled people to its specific features are considered. The authors highlight the role of rehabilitation and special educational institutions in Moscow in preparation of persons with disabilities to their work activities, the ability to present themselves in the selection of a suitable vacancy and the expansion of opportunities to implement their work plans.
