The disabled in the midst of unemployment, i.e. what remains unseen in the scientific and administrative discourse?
Abstract
The problem of disability with the whole spectrum of correlated aspects has been repeatedly addressed by science as well as various administrative analyses for the needs of social policy. The perspective, frequently supported by extensive statistics, indicates the main recurring problems related to disability. The most visible are unemployment and poverty of this population. Concurrently, the studies tend to (frequently wrongfully!) stigmatize the disabled. The above-mentioned perspective effectively quantifies, copies, labels... and does not clarify the core of the problems. In his elaboration, the author presents a different approach that focuses on the perspective of the interested parties themselves – the disabled. With the use of heuristic analysis and sociological imagination, he addresses numerous aspects of the world, aspects that have been misunderstood, omitted or intentionally concealed in the past.
