Abstract

Remote work offers persons with disabilities
(PWDs) almost equal opportunities to
engage in the labour market and earn (additional)
income. Prolonged unemployment and discrimination
in the workplace increase the likelihood
of PWDs becoming long-term unemployed and
may consequently lead to their complete withdrawal
from the labour market. In this regard,
new work models performed through flexible,
remote and digital gig jobs are a valuable yet
overlooked avenue for inclusive employment.
Accordingly, this paper discusses the potential of
digital entrepreneurship and platform work for
tackling the long-term unemployment of PWDs
in Serbia. The findings indicate that PWDs in
Serbia are not sufficiently informed about digital
entrepreneurship, digital labour platforms and
the potential opportunities they offer. Therefore,
targeted initiatives and tailored training programs
are essential. These measures should focus on
raising awareness of digital entrepreneurship
and platform work among PWDs in Serbia and
equipping them with the necessary skills and
competencies to participate in these opportunities.
