O direito ao trabalho da pessoa com deficiência: barreiras jurídicas e sociais na garantia da igualdade de oportunidades

Abstract

This paper addresses the right to work for people with disabilities, focusing on legal and social barriers to ensuring equal opportunities. The general objective of this paper is to analyze the right to work for people with disabilities, taking into account the legal and social barriers to guaranteeing equality in the labor market. Specific objectives include contextualizing this topic within labor law, defining the concept of people with disabilities and their integration into the workforce, discussing the importance of professional inclusion for people with disabilities, and identifying the legal and social barriers to ensuring equal opportunities for PWDs in the labor market. The justification for this study lies in the importance of addressing a central issue for promoting inclusion and social justice. People with disabilities face significant challenges to their full integration into the labor market, despite existing legislation that guarantees their rights. Data collection and analysis were conducted through bibliographic and legislative research, using a qualitative approach characterized by its analytical and descriptive nature. The research concludes that the main barriers faced by people with disabilities in the labor market include prejudice, lack of accessibility, and limited qualifications, worsened by the ineffectiveness of public policy implementation and company resistance to adapting their environments and processes.
