title: The right to equal opportunity and treatment: employment of persons with disabilities in Slovenia.
abstract: The article presents a brief description of the research carried out at the Institute for Rehabilitation in 2002/2003. In the first part of the article, policies, programmes and measures for promoting vocational rehabilitation and employment of persons with disabilities adopted by Slovenia in the period 1999-2002 are analysed. The key finding is that the situation of persons with disabilities in the labour market is significantly weaker than that of the non-disabled. The second part includes the empirical part of the research and addresses the problem of the attitudes of the employers towards the employment of persons with disabilities.
