Normas y políticas públicas dirigidas al empleo de las personas en situación de discapacidad: España y Colombia

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to reflect on the legal framework and public policies created to incorporate the labor market to people with disabilities, as a social inclusion strategy in Spain as in Colombia. The research is descriptive with a deductive method in obtaining and analyzing information. The main results were obtained to the extent that there is a broad legal system developed from the international level (OIT, ONU, European Union), which were incorporated into the domestic legislation of Colombia and Spain, as the case may be, the challenges to attend The population in a situation of disability and social insertion in the social work life is still a task for each of the public agendas of the countries analyzed. The advanced public policies are diverse but the results are not enough, in the case of Colombia it is more complex due to the deficiencies in public policies in the workplace that still do not allow unemployment in the population in general, even less in people in situation of disability. In this aspect, the social, economic and political tensions that each country must solve must be strongly influenced, and this vulnerable population remains in the background in the priority of the public agenda.
