Employment and Workplace Accessibility for Visually Impaired Persons - Survey Data

Overview

This dataset contains anonymized responses from the AccessPro 2025 Survey on employment and workplace accessibility for persons with visual impairments in Croatia.

Employment status

Perceived barriers and opportunities for inclusion

Responses were originally collected in Croatian and later translated into English. The dataset includes both the raw Croatian version and a cleaned English version with standardized headers, trimmed spaces, and preserved missing values.
