In Poland, disabled people most frequently remain part of the unused labour force. Despite the fact that in recent years the number of disabled Poles who found employment has risen, their employment rate is still rather low. The majority of them (83% in 2010) are absent from the job market. The aim of the paper is to investigate how gender, place of residence, education, age and level of disability affect the economic inactivity of the disabled and what impact their gender, place of residence and level of disability have on the likelihood of the reason for the inactivity. The author used the Polish Central Statistical Office data concerning the 4th quarter of 2010. The data were analysed by means of the logistic regression model for the dependent dichotomous variable, as well as by means of the multinomial logistic regression model. The assessed parameters helped to determine the inactivity risk quotient in relation to economic activity. They also permitted to calculate the probability of the disabled people's economic inactivity due to a particular reason.
