Problematic aspects of the quality of life of disabled people in selected european countries (Germany, Norway, Poland) in the context of legal regulations

Abstract

Quality of life is an assessment of well-being, a sense of happiness and life satisfaction. Persons with disabilities, due to their state of health and physical condition, are characterized by a lower quality of life than non-disabled people. Many factors affect the level of life quality, including socio-economic and legal regulations. This article presents the situation of disabled people in selected European countries, with particular emphasis on the legal regulations relating to people with disabilities. It can be concluded that German and Norwegian legislation is more favorable to the disabled than Polish one.
