Summary/Abstract: Polish system of activation of people with disabilities assumes the implementation of this process in: open labour market entities, supported employment enterprises, professional activation establishments and occupational therapy workshops. After over 20 years of experience, there is a right to ask about the level of compliance of system’s assumptions for the professional activation of disabled people resulting from the state social policy with real effects. In particular, there should be evaluated organizational solutions concerning sheltered employment. The analysis of the process of change in the functioning of protected employment system in the context of changes in the rules of its financing permits us to conclude, that for people managing supported employment enterprises more important are the economic effects of financial support in a competitive market than social aims, and the system is more favourable to the development of entrepreneurship in general than to solving social problems.
