ABSTRACT         

The article analyzes the quality of employment of working people with disabilities and their quality of life. The purpose of the study is to compare the quality of employment and the quality of life of working people with disabilities and working people without disabilities. The quality of employment and quality of life is analyzed by the author, first of all, in terms of subjective indicators. The hypothesis of the study is that the subjective characteristics of the quality of employment of working people with disabilities are higher than those of working people without disabilities. The quality of life is understood by the author as a person's subjective perception of his position in the social structure of society. The quality of employment is considered through such characteristics as the suitability of the workplace to the needs of the employee and the satisfaction of the employee with various aspects of the job. To analyze the quality of life, we used such indicators as a change in financial situation, a subjective assessment on a scale of poverty / wealth, a subjective assessment of respect / disrespect, a subjective assessment of the presence / absence of rights, satisfaction with life in general, concern that a person will not be able to provide for himself necessary, satisfaction with the financial situation. The quality of employment is analyzed through working conditions, and satisfaction with various aspects of work. Working conditions are considered through the severity of work, the presence of stressful situations in the workplace, the presence of factors harmful to health in the workplace, workplace safety, accidents at work. Job satisfaction is analyzed through satisfaction with wages, satisfaction with job reliability, satisfaction with duties that a person performs at work, satisfaction with workplace, satisfaction with working conditions, distance to work, professional satisfaction and moral satisfaction. As a result of the study, the hypothesis was partially confirmed, it was found that the quality of employment is higher for people with disabilities belonging to the first and second groups than for working people, for people with disabilities of the third group, the subjective characteristics of the quality of employment are approximately the same, and sometimes even worse, than for working people. people without disabilities.
