DESAFIOS E OPORTUNIDADES: INCLUSÃO DAS PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO PRIVADO

Abstract

Including people with disabilities in the job market is increasingly present in society. However, there are a number of challenges to be faced, which leads us to reflect. What are the main obstacles preventing people with disabilities from being included in the private sector, despite the existing laws? There are numerous barriers they face, such as: the challenge of understanding the needs of people with disabilities; accessibility for people with disabilities; and prejudice and discrimination. These obstacles end up restricting the inclusion of this group in labor relations. Given this reality, the main objective of this research is to point out and analyze some of the challenges faced by people with disabilities in the job market, based on Brazilian legislation, both constitutional and infra-constitutional. Its specific objective is to present a brief evolution of the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market throughout Brazil's history. In order to analyze this scenario, the method used to carry out this study was qualitative, using bibliographic, documentary and statistical procedures. Data was collected from different sources, such as books, scientific articles, academic papers and government websites (IBGE, IPEA, among others) and legislation. The inclusion of people with disabilities in the job market is an issue that requires the efforts of society as a whole. Overcoming the barrier of exclusion of people with disabilities in the workplace is a challenge and presupposes the implementation of initiatives aimed at raising awareness and adapting the working environment from the outset.
