Inclusive Employment for People With Disability: A Review

Abstract

"Various organizations and institutions have supported in recent years the importance of achieving an improvement in the participation in society of people with disabilities through their access to employment. Despite the development of international conventions and specific action plans, people with disabilities continue to encounter barriers to their labour inclusion. The present study aimed to examine scientific production in the field of inclusive employment of people with disabilities from a bibliometric perspective. The sample of 127 documents on this subject was obtained from the core collection of Web of Science (WoS). Data analysis was performed using the bibliometric analysis tools available in WoS. The results indicate a progressive increase in the number of publications. However, the studies are still insufficient in order to be able to include an exhaustive knowledge of the conditions that make it difficult for these people to access employment, due to the wide range of types of disability and the variability of the characteristics of the people who present it. This being a preliminary study, it is advisable to continue with the bibliometric analysis of the data in order to achieve a better perspective of what has been published so far."
