Abstract

This work presents an overview of the formal employment relationships and income of people with disabilities (PWDs) in the Brazilian labor market, from 2007 to 2019. For this purpose, a descriptive study was carried out using data
available in the Annual Report of Social Information (RAIS), as well as the last CENSUS. The results indicate that, although the inclusion of PWDs in the labor market is still low, the number of formal jobs increased between 2007 and 2019, as well as incomes. These changes can be explained, in part, by the implementation of inclusive policies and greater applicability of the Quota Law. It is important to encourage studies on this topic, thus contributing to increase its visibility and encourage the government, companies and society to contribute to the inclusion, financial autonomy and development of citizens with disabilities, guaranteeing opportunities, attraction, insertion and retention of these professionals in employers.
