SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF DISABLED POPULATION IN MODERN SOCIETY
The article is devoted to the analysis of the socio-economic reasons for the disability of the population in modern society, the substantiation of the basic terms and concepts that reveal the essence of the theoretical, methodological and substantive foundations of the concept of “disabled”. It examines the main reasons for the emergence and spread of disability as a social phenomenon. An important point of the article is a section describing the socio-economic barriers faced by people with disabilities in modern socio-economic conditions and associated with a lack of understanding on the part of the relevant government agencies of the need to show genuine concern for the intellectual, economic and emotional development of disabled people. At the present stage of development of the social structure, despite the presence of a sufficient number of regulatory and legal sources, as well as research on the problem of the rights of persons with disabilities, there is a tendency that many of them do not know their rights, in particular of a socio-economic nature. Consequently, the problem of studying the socio-economic reasons for the disability of the population in the conditions of modern society is very topical, since disabled people of all categories must know their rights, and the relevant social service bodies must fully guarantee the observance of the socio-economic rights of disabled people.
