Methodological basis of the vocational rehabilitation and employment promotion of people with disabilities

Purpose: this article focuses on the question of formation and development of the social protection system of disabled people in Russia. Modern social Russian policy is aimed at ensuring equal rights and opportunities in the realization of potential abilities and individual resources of each member of society. The importance of the chosen topic is connected with the consistently high number of people with disabilities. According to UN statistics, every tenth person on the planet (more than 750 million people) has some form of disability and at least 25% of the population suffer from various health disorders. Currently, the disability of working citizens, especially among initially examined, is very significant. Annually in Russia the status of a disabled person is acquired by more than 2 million people, among which about 700 thousand people – for the first time, and this is a half of working people. Almost 80% of disabled people of working age don't work. Disabled people as a social category of people need significant measures of social protection. These types of aid are defined by the legislation, however, it should be noted that these legal acts relate to privileges, benefits, pensions, etc., aimed at the maintenance of life, passive consumption of material support. However, people with disabilities need such state support, which would encourage them to socially useful activity, inhibiting dependency. Essentially we are talking about the full integration of disabled people into society, which is the ultimate goal of their vocational rehabilitation. In this regard, currently, in modern Russia there is a need for a scientific concept of vocational rehabilitation of invalids, based on the reconstruction of the social and labor status of people with disabilities and their inclusion into the labor market. Methods: this article is based on the use of graphics processing methods and synthesis of information, methods of system analysis, expert assessments and analysis of empirical data. Results: in the article different approaches to the study of aspects of vocational rehabilitation of people with disabilities are shown. Conclusions and Relevance: the practical significance of the research is finding ways to increase employment of people with disabilities in order to attract additional labor resources in the economy, and improve the level and quality of life of citizens with disabilities.
