Differentiation in the Employment of Minors with disabilities and Limited Health Opportunities

Abstract

This article examines the employment issues of individuals under 18 with disabilities or limited health capabilities in the Russian Federation at the current stage of labor legislation development. The author concludes that current legislation differentiates approaches to ensuring the employment of individuals under 18 and individuals with disabilities, but fails to address complex cases where both characteristics overlap. It is noted that Russian legislation includes a special category for individuals under 18, “Individuals with Disabilities”, which is not reflected in labor legislation. Legal conflicts and inconsistencies in the regulation of labor for minors with disabilities are observed, requiring a thorough assessment and adjustment of existing legal mechanisms.
