Lei de cotas: percepção da pessoa com deficiência em relação à inclusão no mercado de trabalho

Abstract

This research aimed to verify what the rights of Law 8.213/91 (Quotas Law) has regarding people with disabilities in the labor market. The research is characterized as exploratory and descriptive and the approach to the problem is classified as qualitative and quantitative. The data collection was done through a questionnaire, sent by Google Forms, divided into two blocks of questions. The first block focused on obtaining information about the profile of the research participants, and the second assessed the knowledge and perspective of people with disabilities regarding the Quotas Law and specific laws that regulate the occupational rights of this group of workers. The study was applied to 82 people who were willing to participate and are part of the database of the Integrated Center of Support for the People with Disabilities Foundation and were willing to participate. The data obtained were organized and presented through tables and graphs, evaluated by simple statistics, and the qualitative data were verified through content analysis from the perspective of Bardin (2011). The results show that the effects of the Law on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the job market divided the opinions of the respondents because, while it brings opportunities and facilitates their entry and involvement in labor activities, it also does not solve the main problem, which is the inequality in comparison to the other individuals. Moreover, a greater inspection would be necessary to prevent companies from meeting their obligation to offer vacancies, without completing the hiring process, a phenomenon that occasionally occurs.
