Resumen

CANOSSA MONTES DE OCA, Héctor Andrés. Challenges for the labor inclusion of persons with disabilities in Costa Rica. Economía y Sociedad [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.58, pp.50-68. ISSN 2215-3403.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/eys.25/58.4.

More than 18% of Costa Ricans over the age of 18 are persons with disabilities (PwD). Reaching 60%, unemployment in this group is greater than the rate in the general population. This article aims to motivate equal employment opportunities, for which it is important to analyze the implications of labor inclusion, by identifying its repercussions on companies and employees with disabilities. For this purpose, a descriptive research was conducted including a review of literature, as well as surveys and interviews. The companies hiring PwDs showed little experience and lack of knowledge regarding their benefits, In addition, there is a general perception that there is no effective promotion of inclusion by the Costa Rican government. Companies consider the lack of adequate job profiles and investment in physical adaptations as their main challenges, while PwDs consider lack of training, changes in recruitment and selection processes, job profiles, and mainly the employers’ attitude as their main challenges.

Palabras clave : inclusive organization; strategy; human talent; disability; equality.
