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.

The organization of labor activities of disabled people in the territory of the Kuznetsk District in the second half of the 1920s - 1930s is being considered in the article. The dynamics of the development of the system of disability cooperation is shown. The study examined working conditions, the pay system, its advantages compared to the receipt of a tiny pension. Opportunities to train persons with disabilities in professions within the technical training plant have been identified. The main types of production activities in which disabled artels specialized were established, these are: artisanal production of food, basic necessities, trade and household services. The conclusion is drawn that economic problems of artels arose in connection with weak financial support from social securities, supply with raw materials and materials by the residual principle, domination of manual work, formal work of local councils with chairmen of the artels allowing cases of mismanagement and abuse of official position. In general, the level of organization of work of persons with disabilities in the Kuznetsk District was in line with the State’s policy of pragmatising their productive potential during the period of intensive industrial construction in the region.

According to the WHO “World Report on Disability 2011”, there are more than a billion people with disabilities worldwide. At the current stage of development of the social state in the Russian Federation, one of the most priority issues is to ensure socialisation, integration into society and comfortable living for people with disabilities. A disabled person, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, is a person who has health disorders that cause the need for social protection due to life restrictions associated with injuries, diseases and/or defects. At the same time, the limitations of vital activity mean the loss of several functions possessed by a healthy person: self-service, independent movement, the ability to communicate, orientation in space, control of their behaviour, learning, employment and other activities. This article is aimed at studying the measures taken by the regional authorities to support the integration of persons with disabilities into society.

Traditionally, disability was considered to be a personal trouble, as opposed to the social issue and public policy concern that it is today. Children with physical and cognitive impairments were shunned away from mainstream society into asylums or workhouses. They were typically discussed and analyzed through a medical lens, pathologized and conceived as a social problem to be regulated, cured, or killed. The emergence of ideologies constructing disabled children and adults as dependent victims unable to contribute to the development of society encouraged the development of charities for disabled people and exploitation of textual and nontextual narratives of the “vulnerable disabled child” to evoke sympathy and induce the public’s financial generosity. The ideological mantra that impairment was the cause of individual and family disadvantage was embedded in the cultural consciousness of society and thus influenced how disabled people (across the lifecourse) “made themselves known” and were made known to others (i.e., as inferior, developmentally delayed, financial and emotional burdens to their family and society). It led to the expansion of the rehabilitation industry and new social policies that focused on altering or incarcerating the impaired body. However this was challenged by the upsurge of the British Disabled People’s Movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Based on the ideas of the Union of Physically Impaired against Segregation, the movement campaigned for social equality and human rights legislation in all spheres of social life and generated a new understanding of disability. With the historic shift in thinking about both childhood and disability as a public issue rather than a personal matter, there has been increasing interest in the social world of both disabled people and all children and young people. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (particularly Article 12) and the Children Act 1989 initiated subsequent developments with regard to children having a right to be involved in decisions about their lives. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities means that disabled children today are the first generation to grow up in an era of full international civil rights. This bibliography lists works that include the voices and experiences of disabled children and young people in research about their everyday lives, including health and medical treatment, education, and identity. These works demonstrate the richness and diversity of disabled children’s individual lives, thus challenging the traditional conception that disabled children are a homogenous group.

Data collection methods were observation, interview and literature study.The existence of Persons with Disability (PD) is the largest minority in the world and part of the diversity of Indonesian social and cultural structures. PD often experiences social exclusion, including in carrying out religious practices and beliefs. This discourse is often over looked because the stereotype of PD is identical with the socio-economic problems handled by the social service. Some obstacles in fulfilling the religious and belief rights of persons with disabilities: places of worship are not accessible, scarcity of religious teaching materials and lack of service facilities for PD, especially in various religious celebrations.</p>

In 2012 Russia ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which provides for the creation of an accessible environment for disabled people, ensuring their rights to work, medical care, education and full participation in public life. This is the fundamental basis on which the social policy of the state in relation to the disabled persons is currently being built. The strategic direction of the social policy of the state is the rehabilitation and habilitation of disabled people, the effectiveness of which depends on the completeness of the study of the epidemiological picture of the spread of disability and the need for various methods of rehabilitation and habilitation in citizens with limited life activity due to violations of the body’s functions. The article presents information characterizing the epidemiological picture of the disability of the population in the Russian Federation, taking into account the main age categories. Data on the total number of disabled people receiving various types of rehabilitation and habilitation services in the Russian Federation are also presented. There are highlighted problematic issues, the solution of which is necessary for the implementation of the social policy of the state.

The (in)equality issues facing disabled people are extensive and long-enduring. The way(s) in which equality is conceptualised has important consequences for understandings of disability. The ambiguity of what I call <em>dis-equality</em> theory is two-fold; the apparent failure of mainstream equality theorising in, firstly, embracing disability concepts at all, and secondly, in fully incorporating the logistics of disability, particularly in relation to the social construction of such. Practices of institutional and more complex forms of discrimination are part of those deeper structures of domination and oppression which maintain disabled people in positions of disadvantage. Everyday practices, in the ‘ordinary order of things’ (Bourdieu, 2000), continue to be misrecognised as natural and taken for granted. This article critically explores the complexity of <em>dis-equality</em> theorising utilising a Bourdieusian lens which explicitly incorporates complex and subtle forms of discrimination, and by examining the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities’ approach to equality. I argue that the way forward for <em>dis-equality</em> theorising in today’s rights based era must be one that considers the nuances of the ‘rules of the game’ (Young, 1990) if it is to be effective in challenging the inequalities to which disabled people have long been subject.
