PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND WORKING ENVIRONMENT: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

Although the access of people with disabilities (PwD) to work is intensifying due to a global trend of humanization, the portion of this segment that is formally employed is still tiny. In order to problematize such a scenario, this article sought to understand how scientific productions have been discussing PwD in the Brazilian work context. From a systematic review of literature published from 2010 to 2021 in the Web of Science, Spell and CAPES Periodicals databases, among other criteria, a corpus of 33 articles was reached to support the analyses. Finally, it was found that, despite the normative and cultural advances, some urban, architectural, transport, communication and information, attitudinal and technological barriers persist, which trigger difficulties related to accessibility, prejudice and discrimination. Such obstacles make it impossible to include PwD in the work context and demand actions from organizations that, combined with complementary actions by the families of these people and the State, have the potential to enable effective social transformations.
