RESUMEN
Resumo Mesmo após a publicação da Lei 8213, em 1991, que institui cotas para contratação de pessoas com deficiência, a inclusão delas no trabalho ainda é um desafio para a sociedade brasileira. Para tentar entender as principais barreiras que impedem este processo foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa no município de Belo Horizonte. Este estudo contou com entrevistas com atores importantes no processo de inclusão; e grupos focais com pessoas com deficiência e seus familiares. As principais barreiras encontradas foram: preconceito e discriminação; a relação familiar; o Benefício da Prestação Continuada; a baixa qualificação das pessoas com deficiência; a falta de acessibilidade; e o despreparo das empresas. Conclui-se que a elaboração de leis não é suficiente para a inclusão no mercado de trabalho e que os governos devem implementar políticas públicas que auxiliem este processo.
Abstract Even after the publication of Law 8213 in 1991, which established quotas for employing disabled persons, their inclusion in the workplace still presents a challenge for Brazilian society. In order to understand the main barriers that hamper this process a qualitative research study was conducted in the municipality of Belo Horizon-te. This study included interviews with important actors involved in the process of inclusion; and focus groups including disabled persons and members of their families. The main barriers encountered were: preconceived ideas and discrimination; family relationships; the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC) program; the low level of qualifi-cation among disabled person; lack of access; and the unpreparedness of companies. It was concluded that drafting laws is not sufficient to guarantee inclusion in the labor market and that governments should implement public policies to assist in this process.
