Abstract

In contemporary society, although many adolescents with disabilities are making social integration efforts, many of them are unemployed. Unemployment officially and open refers to direct exclusion from the labor market, but there is also a phenomenon of exclusion inside the labor market. Some groups are involved in segments where jobs are uncertain, poorly paid and do not require special or specialized training. Labor market segmentation tends to be built around immediately identifiable groups (eg by age, ethnicity, gender), so that the exclusion of the "decency" is doubled, associated with other forms of social exclusion. It is necessary to improve social policies in the field of disabled people and the strengthening of strategies in the development process of institutionalization of disabled adults.

Highlights

The emergence of social problems specific to people and vulnerable groups have emerged as a result of individual inequalities in society and as a result of natural disasters, epidemics, various accidents, armed conflicts, religious beliefs etc
As a result of the evolution of human society, social problems have diversified, causing states to adapt to the social configuration, to adopt rules and to organize at national and international level institutions specialized in practicing social assistance in order to cover the full spectrum of social needs, from empirical assistance to centralized social assistance
A British analysis showed that people with mental health difficulties faced greater difficulties in gaining access to the labor market and earning more than other workers

Summary

Introduction

The emergence of social problems specific to people and vulnerable groups have emerged as a result of individual inequalities in society and as a result of natural disasters, epidemics, various accidents, armed conflicts, religious beliefs etc. At the level of special residential institutions intended for both children and adults (the elderly, people with disabilities), the legal and institutional framework focuses mainly on biological and health care for survival. These approaches at community and institutional level do not have a defining impact in solving the social problem as they concern only the external part of the beneficiary / client, the immediate physical needs and generate other problems through dependence, as the human side, the spiritual, cultural dimension is not involved, values and boundless resources of the human.
