The Polish system of vocational rehabilitation works on the basis of the four following forms of participation and employment for people with disabilities: occupational therapy workshops, professional activity facilities, sheltered workshops and the open labor market. Each of these forms may use financial support in form of grants and refunds, which are by law different as to the amount and extent. Expectations differ as well as to the effects of rehabilitation. One can expect the support system will, in a particular way, give priority to creating conditions for effective rehabilitation and work in proportion to the degree of disability and its severity. Do the solutions in place meet these conditions? For 20 years of functioning, the current system has been subject to many changes, especially in the financial area. The current direction of evolution of the system leads to the question about its effectiveness and efficiency both at national level and at the level of voivodships. The purpose of the article is to analyze the effectiveness of the systemic solutions implemented in Poland in the scope of vocational activation of people with disabilities. The analysis conducted at the voivodship level covers assessment of the various effects of actions taking into account the level of unemployment and labor force participation rate of persons with disabilities, the number of entities participating in the system (sheltered workshops, professional activity facilities, occupational therapy workshops), the total population labor activity and structure of the entities participating in the system. The results of analysis lead to the conclusion that the real values of indicators characterizing economic activity of people with disabilities differ from the model values taken as assumptions for objectives of the declared public policy, and lead to questions about the effectiveness of support tools and pertinence of the directions of change.

Dependence on others is in fact one of the most painful experiences of people with disabilities significantly impairing the quality of their lives. In the current economic situation, people with disabilities and their relatives often suffer from various problems. The possibility of overcoming them is highly dependent on the support they receive from others.

The article describes the sources of statistical data on persons with disabilities and their households in Poland and in the European Union. The review showed that the problem of disability is rarely the main purpose of statistical surveys. Data on persons with disabilities is achieved by the way of research aimed at implementing other purposes. This results in reducing the possibility of in-depth analysis of the problem of disability. The study also indicated the lack of a definition of disability. This hinders the use of statistical databases. Moreover, this raises problems for comparative analysis, especially on an international scale, and may even doubt the sensibility of their conducting. (original abstract)

After over 20 years of experience, there is a right to ask about the level of compliance of system's assumptions for the professional activation of disabled people resulting from the state social policy with real effects. In particular, there should be evaluated organizational solutions concerning sheltered employment. The study presents the effects of realization of sheltered employment by economic entities operating in a market economy. The analysis of the process of change in the functioning of protected employment system in the context of changes in the rules of its financing permits us to conclude, that for people managing supported employment enterprises more important are the economic effects of financial support in a competitive market than social aims, and the system is more favourable to the development of entrepreneurship in general than to solving social problems. At the same time, the analysis of employment at the level of provinces reveals the glaring disparities in the availability of people with disabilities for sheltered employment. This condition reinforces the conclusions on the need for radical changes in the rules of the sheltered employment functioning.

Economic and political transformations, that took place in Poland in the early 90's, significantly affected conditions in the labour market of people with disabilities. Companies employing disabled people, when operating in the system of professional activation of disabled, became a participant of competitive economy. New solutions in the field of social policy for the activation of disabled people include the mechanisms of economic support through the co-financing and refunds. The open labour market has become the declared target area of employment for people with disabilities. The aim of protected labour market was to develop towards the employment, in particular, of people whose type and degree of disability restricts reasonable opportunity to work on the open market. The analysis of effectiveness of system solutions and used economic support tools permits to conclude, that the real picture of accupational activity differs from the model and effects of implemented corrections are different from assumptions and expectations. Effective from January 1st, 2009, the amendment of basic legal act on the shape of professional activation system that is the Act on Social and Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment of Disabled, results, inter alia, in the lack of connection between the nominal amount of financial support and the amount of gross wages and the significant approximation of grants amount for disabled people employed in the open and protected labour market (since January 1st, 2013 there will be the alignment). Legal restrictions on the financing system in the current form of vocational activation system of disabled act in the antimotivational way on the employment of people with disabilities in protected working conditions - for those people this form of employment should be particularly open. It seems necessary to create conditions for sheltered employment and social rehabilitation of disabled people to be implemented in organizations that mission and goals are not aimed at achieving business results ("non-profit" organizations, public benefit organizations, associations, foundations, organizations running public benefit activity).

Celem artykułu było zbadanie wpływu płci, miejsca zamieszkania, poziomu wykształcenia, wieku i stopnia niepełnosprawności osób niepełnosprawnych na ich bierność zawodową oraz wpływu płci, miejsca zamieszkania i stopnia niepełnosprawności na prawdopodobieństwo przyczyn tej bierności. W badaniu wykorzystano dane z badań GUS z lat 2007-2011. Analiza przebiegała dwuetapowo. Wykorzystano w niej modele regresji logistycznej - dwumianowy i wielomianowy. Wyznaczono ryzyko względnej bierności w stosunku do aktywności zawodowej oraz obliczono prawdopodobieństwo bierności zawodowej osób niepełnosprawnych z określonej przyczyny. (fragment tekstu)
