Políticas públicas sobre la inclusión laboral en personas con discapacidad

Abstract

This article analyzes the effectiveness of Ecuadorian public policies focused on labor inclusion for people with disabilities. Despite an advanced legal framework, structural, social, and cultural barriers hinder its real application, especially in the private sector. Using a qualitative-descriptive methodology and surveys conducted with workers in Quito, the study identified low compliance with the minimum inclusion quota, lack of reasonable accommodations, and limited institutional training. The research recommends strengthening state oversight, promoting employer incentives, and fostering an inclusive culture. Labor inclusion is a fundamental right and a shared responsibility between the State, companies, and society, essential for building a fair and equitable environment.
