Abstract

In modern conditions, disability is a social phenomenon that no society can avoid. There are more than 2.7 million people with disabilities in Ukraine. The realities of today allow us to state the fact that people with disabilities belong to the most vulnerable segments of the population, who are deprived of some basic life benefits. The problems of employment and labor, which need sufficient attention from the state, are also often overlooked. Unfortunately, in recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of people with disabilities in the country. Therefore, the question of the urgent need to study the protection of labor rights of persons with disabilities is relevant. Research methods are chosen to take into account the purpose and objectives of the study, its object, and its subject. In the course of the research philosophical, general scientific, as well as special legal methods of scientific knowledge were used. The purpose and task of the research are to determine the legislative and theoretical legal provisions regarding national instruments for the protection of the labor rights of persons with disabilities, to outline the existing guarantees for persons with disabilities in the field of work, to identify problematic aspects in the field of employment, to develop recommendations and proposals for the optimal ways of reforming labor legislation to effectively protect employees with disabilities.

 

Resumen

En las condiciones actuales, la discapacidad es un fenómeno social que ninguna sociedad puede evitar. En Ucrania hay más de 2.7 millones de personas con discapacidad. Las realidades de hoy nos permiten afirmar que las personas con discapacidad pertenecen a uno de los segmentos más vulnerables de la población que se ven privados de algunas prestaciones vitales básicas. Los problemas de empleo y trabajo, que necesitan una atención suficiente por parte del Estado, también suelen pasarse por alto. Desgraciadamente, en los últimos años ha aumentado considerablemente el número de personas con discapacidad en el país. Por lo tanto, existe una necesidad urgente de estudiar la protección de los derechos laborales de las personas con discapacidad. Los métodos de investigación en este análisis son elegidos teniendo en cuenta la finalidad y los objetivos del estudio, su objeto y su sujeto. En el curso de la investigación se han utilizado métodos filosóficos, científicos generales y jurídicos. El propósito y la tarea de la investigación son determinar las disposiciones jurídicas legislativas y teóricas relativas a los instrumentos nacionales de protección de los derechos laborales de las personas con discapacidad, esbozar las garantías existentes para las personas con discapacidad en el ámbito del trabajo, identificar los aspectos problemáticos en el ámbito del empleo, elaborar recomendaciones y propuestas sobre las formas óptimas de reformar la legislación laboral para proteger eficazmente a los empleados con discapacidad.
