A ponte que nos divide: pessoas com síndrome de Down e o mercado de trabalho

Abstract

The insertion of people with disabilities in the labor market is recent and gradual reaches emphasis on society. In the organizational perspective, the inclusion of these people presents some difficulties when it comes to people with intellectual disabilities, such as Down Syndrome, whose patients are not rarely considered to be incapacitated for work and are deprived of hiring processes. This monograph aimed to know the process of inclusion of people with Down Syndrome in the labor market, to identify the labor activities in which they work and the aspects that facilitate or hamper the inclusion process. Among the conclusions, it is possible to carry out a process of inclusion of people with Down Syndrome, with satisfactory results in terms of adaptation and performance.
