United Nation’s Development Programme (UNDP) for Croatia (www.undp.hr), initiated a new programme - „The Right to live in a Community: Social Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities“ in framework of which a scientific project: “Attitudes of Unemployed Persons with Disabilities towards employment “was developed, as well as some activities which tend to increase their employment ability. Some of these results will be presented in this essay. The aim of this essay is to determine which actions do unemployed persons with disabilities in Republic of Croatia take to Þ nd work and what difÞ culties and obstacles, according to their own evaluation, prevent them from taking more efforts in their job search. Within the sample of 573 examinees, representative of all four Croatian regions, based the on selected variables of the applied Questionnaire for employment of persons with disabilities, and using the factor analysis as well, the total of 8 factors were identified. The results indicate a passive attitude of persons with disabilities towards job search. At the same time, there are no signiÞ cant difÞ culties and obstacles which would prevent them to be more active. Therefore, it is important to point out that the persons with disabilities are also responsible for creating their own future.
