Sažetak
The interest for social entrepreneurship is increasing in Croatia where social enterprises strive to solve the problems of local communities. One of the manifestations of social entrepreneurship includes the employment of vulnerable groups of people, including people with disabilities who face barriers in the labour market. Social entrepreneurship as a model of employment of people with disabilities is not well researched in Croatian context. The paper gives an analysis of the state of development of social entrepreneurship in Croatia followed by an overview of measures of active employment policies for persons with disabilities and the results of measures taken. Further on, the sociodemographic structure of people with disabilities is presented. Based on a case study of a social enterprise that employs persons with disabilities the psychological, social and material benefits of working will be explored.
