Abstract :The concept of work, which is one of the needs such as nutrition and shelter, continues to exist today with the meanings of earning income and gaining status. It is seen that social policy strategies, which offer important opportunities for the disabled to participate in socio-cultural life, focus on supporting the disabled economically, but the disabled are subjected to many discrimination at stages such as employment, promotion, wage determination/increase, contract processes and termination of the job. At this point, the acceptance of \'positive discrimination\' as a principle in the employment of the disabled has made the issues of discrimination and social exclusion more visible for the disabled. In this context, unless all discrimination, which is universally accepted, is prevented in labour markets, it will appear with much greater corrosive effects. The introduction of new policies in line with equality of opportunity by making forward-looking plans for the disabled in the economic sense will make it possible for the disabled to integrate with the society and to realise themselves. In this sense, the provision of some measures to ensure the employment of disabled people in workplaces and to support the sustainability of this employment will also make social benefit and welfare policies possible. In this sense, the study focuses on the policies carried out in the employment of the disabled in this sense, and focuses on solutions that will make it possible for the disabled to produce with equal opportunity in employment, to realise themselves independently and to have a say in social terms.Keywords : Engelli, Engellilik, Engelli Hakları, Engelli İstihdamı, Engelli Çalışma Yaşamı.
