By signing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Republic of Croatia has committed to respecting and implementing all of the Convention‟s principles. With the ratification of the Convention in 2007 started a long-term process of adjustment and advancement of national statutory legislation and the commencement of an effective social policy towards people with disabilities. Despite numerous positive developments, people with disabilities and experts state that the implementation of the newly created programs is a formality rather than a reality. Although, human rights are guaranteed to all as indigenous, inalienable, indivisible, interdependent and universal, many people with disabilities find them hardly realizable. As a result, the aim of this quality research was to understand the situation people with disabilities are in, with regard to labor and employment as one of the sections of social policy in the Republic of Croatia. Participants in the study are ten experts in different areas including the high school education system, professional rehabilitation centers, labor and employment market, and public health. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview schedule, and frame analysis was used to analyze the data. By taking into account the participants‟ actual experiences and reflections, indicators of current working conditions and positions of people with disabilities were identified and concern the existing legal framework, factors related to quality of service, factors related to people with disabilities themselves and the broader social context and attitudes of people with disabilities. In addition, difficulties and areas within the system were recognized which require further development and modification. The participants indicate problems with legal inconsistencies, unpreparedness of the system for implementing changes, underdeveloped networks of service providers, an inadequate education system and people with disabilities who are passive. Besides that, the interviewees highlight a poor economic situation for the people with disabilities (and in general the economic crisis that is currently taking place) and societal influence and mostly negative social attitudes (towards this specific population. Recognizing the need to create incentive measures and regulations which would advance the position of people with disabilities in employment and the work environment, the participants proposed some guidelines for improvement. Some of these guidelines suggest for a development of services in local communities, active participation of people with disabilities in society, advancement of social policy and the social model, encouragement of people with disabilities to pursue employment, as well as cooperation between different experts and government organizations. Greater emphasis is placed on the need to develop areas which would facilitate access to quality education and employment in the open labor market for people with disabilities. The interviewees also recognized the need to follow the principles of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which seem to being carried out in Croatia, but too slowly and with too little enthusiasm. These research results are associated with the current state of the legislation in the Republic of Croatia and the relevant literature.
