Abstract

This paper approaches the thematic about the insertion of disabled people into the job market of the municipality of Marabá. On the basis of the legal assumptions of the Brazilian legal system that provides a set of rights for disabled people with the purpose of analyzing how this right has been implemented with the insertion of peoples with disabilities in the job market, questioning the challenges and conditions of this process in Marabá. Historically the population with disabilities has been market by the stigma of inability. The rights accomplished through social movements for citizenship and social inclusion of this disabled people caused a break with prejudice and discriminatory paradigms, seeking their place as citizens in the society. In this scenario, despite the rights guaranteed in protection and support laws, the insertion of people with disabilities into the job market, participation and social inclusion that offer better conditions and quality of life have not taken place. How this process of insertion of people with disabilities has developed in Marabá and under what conditions people with disabilities are inserted into the labor market are questioned in this work. This study was developed based on the principles of a qualitative approach, using as a research technique participant observation in meeting spaces with the State Public Ministry of Pará - MPE / PA, employers and people with disabilities and documentary analysis. The results highlight the persistence of the employers and their representatives in the social imaginary, the conception that the contraction is motivated by the obligation of quotas, and not by the belief in the human capacity of people with disabilities to act providing quality services as any other professional; I identified in the justification of employers that people with disabilities are not qualified, being a point opposed by several segments of people with physical, intellectual, visual and deafness. The human dignity guaranteed in the Federal Constitution of Brazil is not experienced by the population with disabilities in Marabá, even though some employers hire people with disabilities, in most cases, as reported in meetings with the MPE/PA, the positions are always below the professional profile, which affects at the same time, the lack of appreciation in the remuneration. The participation of Associations, entities in defense of the rights of persons with disabilities, have been fundamental in the political movement necessary to ensure effective rights. People with disabilities have not exercised their right to work under current legislation is concluded in this research. There is a resistance from employers to hire and recognize the potential of these professionals. Vocational education policies need to be more effective and have systematic follow-ups on the quality of their results. Educational policies are needed with employers to eliminate discriminatory practices regarding the process of inclusion in the job market.
