Özet:

The participation of people with disabilities in the workforce is crucial in increasing their quality of life and integration with society. However, although people with disabilities are willing to participate in the workforce, they face many problems. The problems experienced by people with disabilities, who have a much lower employment rate than non-disabled individuals, are in a wide range. It is an important step to reveal the problems experienced in the employment of people with disabilities before producing the necessary solutions regarding this issue. For this reason, in this review study, the challenges experienced in the employment of people with disabilities in Turkey are discussed in light of the research in the literature. When we look at the studies in the literature, the problem situations experienced by people with disabilities affect not only in their participation in the workforce but also in their continuation of work. For this reason, models such as the quota application and the protected workplace in our country are far from solving the problems. Legal regulations alone are insufficient for the difficulties faced by people with disabilities in starting and continuing to work, such as negative attitudes toward employers, stigma, insulting words and jokes, exclusion, and transportation problems. In addition to legal regulations, the support of other individuals in society is also needed.
