PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN CONTEMPORARY CROATIAN SOCIETY – THEMATIC ANALYSIS
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.25234/pv/34135Keywords:
persons with disabilities, sociology of disability, human rights model, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesAbstract
Based on highlighting “the human rights model” as the latest approach to disability, and presenting various topics and approaches analysed within the framework of contemporary sociology of disability, the aim of the paper is to contribute to gaining insight into the position and problems of people with disabilities in Croatian society. By means of a semi-systematic literature review and thematic analysis of the collected papers, a total of 25 scientific papers published in five Croatian journals in the period from 2007 to 2024 were analysed. The paper describes seven thematic units that were identified through the analysis: living standards and social protection, work and employment, education, independent living, self-perception, attitudes and experiences of parents of children with developmental disabilities, and attitudes of Croatian citizens towards people with disabilities and children with developmental disabilities. Based on the analysis, conclusions were drawn on the situation, problems, and obstacles faced by persons with disabilities in exercising their rights in contemporary Croatian society. Although the International Convention on Persons with Disabilities guarantees the above-mentioned rights and obliges the state to implement them, it can be concluded that the Convention is not fully implemented in practice, and that it is necessary to systematically work on the realisation of the rights of persons with disabilities in Croatian society, as well as to raise awareness and improve knowledge among citizens and to promote social inclusion and interactions with the aim of building a more just, equal, and inclusive society.
