Employability of people with disabilities in latin america

Abstract

This article is a literature review about labor insertion of people with disabilities in Latin America. It analyzed different documents (regulations, technical reports and papers). The results show the existence of a legal frame in the region for inclusion of people with disabilities. However, unemployment, poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunities affect this group. The discussions concentrate on the need to consolidate public policies and priority actions to transform the lives of these people.
