Abstract :The decent work that is stated to be an international objective by ILO has become a global need and demand concerning all individuals today. With the change in perception towards the disabled, new strategies to contend with the problems the disabled face within work life are developed in many countries. The social policies developed intend to help the disabled to be employed in jobs related with their skills and conditions and to keep them. In this context, it is aimed to take all the necessary measures for the disabled to have economical, social and psychological satisfaction and remove the obstacles that prevent the disabled to be socially integrated. The intend that is set is highly compatible with the objectives aimed for the ‘decent work’ notion. The study draws attention to this consistency and to the importance of employment for the disabled to be socially integrated.
