Summary/Abstract: People with disabilities are one of the most difficult subpopulations on the labor market. Due to generally worse education, less work experience and health problems, they are not competitive on the labor market. To increase their attractiveness to employers, the cost of job creation is subsidized. Similar instruments of employment support are used in the Czech Republic and Poland. However, their effectiveness in support of employment is different in both countries. This article attempts to compare the financial instruments of support for employers who create jobs for unemployed people with disabilities in Poland and the Czech Republic. The author has made an attempt to determine the cause of their diversified effectiveness in combating unemployment of such people. For this purpose, the author used the method of critical analysis of the literature and existing legal acts as well as statistical methods of data analysis.
