Abstract: The article reviews the socioeconomic challenges of people with disabilities employment and accessible environment in Russia and the Republic of Khakassia, one of Russia’s Siberian regions. It focuses on current linguistic, legal, and social barriers that contribute to the low participation of people with disabilities in labor relations. The authors address the issue of the lexeme “invalid” use in the Russian language and suggest replacing it with the people-first language approach. The article attempts to evaluate the accessibility of Russian building codes as an integration factor of people with disabilities into the economy. The article briefly considers the impact of the existed social norm regarding people with disabilities in Russian society on integration. It also implies the issue of discrepancy between official government data and employment levels. The estimated losses in GDP and GRP caused by low-level employment of individuals with disabilities are considered $ 8.2 billion and ₽678 million ($ 9.7 million) accordingly
