Pessoas com deficiência e o mundo do trabalho: inclusão ou exclusão?

Abstract

The general objective of the study is to identify the factors that make it difficult for even people with deficiencies in the labor market, more specifically: to identify the value given to the work by these people and to verify whether the manifestation of preconceit and discrimination occurs between managers and people who work, no. Municipality of Campo Grande/MS. Social groups, such as people with disabilities, women, homosexuals, indigenous people, individuals in street situations and strangers, face significant barriers to their full participation in society. These barriers can be physical, economic or cultural, resulting in processes of exclusion and deprivation of fundamental rights. Within these groups, people with disabilities encounter specific challenges in access to work, even as this is a fundamental means of social inclusion. The persistent exclusion of this group stems from values and beliefs rooted in society, as well as the conditions of life that they face daily, or that justify the conduct of this research. In this study, we discuss people with disabilities and work. For this purpose, the theoretical foundation of two studies of the Critical Theory of Society was used, which is dedicated to the reflective and critical analysis of contemporary capitalist society. Developed by intellectuals such as Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse and Walter Benjamin, among others, this theoretical approach seeks to understand the contradictory structures of society, emphasizing the need for individual emancipation due to two mechanisms of social domination and control. Given that work has been considered important for social inclusion, people with deficiencies are beyond exclusion, in the absence of values and beliefs instituted by society and the living conditions faced daily by these people. It is qualitative research (Marconi, Lakatos, 2001), which seeks to analyze the objective conditions that imply the constitution of subjectivity, advindas das work relationships, and no sense of identifying individual experiences. Thus, the selection of the instrument was a semi-structured interview, carried out with workers with disabilities and managers of private sector companies. The selection of two research subjects is due to the same efforts together with the public employment agency FUNSAT (Fundação Social do Trabalho) to guarantee entrepreneurship.It is hoped that the result of this research may contribute to the improvement of public policies through critical reflections and more assertive practices in the direction and accompaniment of the process of inclusion of people with deficiencies in the local labor market.
