SATIZABAL-REYES, MELANIA. Employment Conditions of a Group of Workers with Disabilities in Cali, Colombia. CS [online]. 2019, n.27, pp.61-88. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i27.2773.

People with disabilities have experienced situations of social exclusion and discrimination. However, some have managed to join the labor market. This paper aims to explore the employment conditions of a group of workers with disabilities. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 160 workers with disabilities in Cali. An index of employment conditions was designed. The study found that one in two workers has good employment conditions. The type of disability impacts employability. The stark diversity of the sample reveals that physically disabled workers have better employment conditions, while mentally disabled workers have worse conditions. Labor dependence influences employment conditions. Salaried workers have better employment conditions than freelance workers.
