Qualificação e inserção da pessoa com deficiência no mercado de trabalho de João Pessoa - PB

Abstract

The public power has been investing over the years in policies to include people with disabilities in the labor market in order to remedy the exclusion experienced by this public throughout history. Despite actions by the State, society's vision for these people still shows traces of past concepts and degrees, hindering the social integration of this group. The inclusion process ends up being intensified through the insertion of these people in the labor market, however the current scenario of people with disabilities active in the professional environment is still considered small. There is an allegation that the workforce of these people is deprived of capacity. Given this context, the study sought to identify the obstacles encountered by people with disabilities for qualification and insertion in the labor market in João Pessoa - PB. The research obtained the results through the quantitative and qualitative analysis of 117 questionnaires, making it possible to identify the main obstacles that impede the insertion in the labor market: disability, discrimination, lack of accessibility in organizations, lack of family support, lack of professional experience, job market with few places for people with disabilities, low level of education and prejudice. For the non qualification, the obstacles identified were: discrimination, low level of education, disability, lack of accessibility, qualification deficiency, well-off people, low income, disinterest, inclusion and integration of persons with disabilities in the qualification process and the type of disability.
