Overview of the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market in Brazil



Abstract

The article presents a mapping of the formal insertion of people with disabilities in the Brazilian labor market. Data provided in the 2010 Census by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics with respect to the functionality and disability variables were used. Additionally, also used was information contained in the Ministry of Labor's Annual Social Information Report, which, from 2007 went on to publish the number and profile of jobs held by people with disabilities. Such mapping is preceded by a section on general lines of the historical context of the social inclusion of people with disabilities, as well as by an overview of the laws in the field of 'affirmative action'. A review of the data shows a very low level of participation of people with disabilities in the Brazilian formal labor market, one that concentrates mostly on poor, discontinuous and informal activities (or inactive, without holding occupations).
