The objective of this article is to identify alternatives to minimize employment barriers for people with disabilities in Colombia based on the right to decent work. The normative production on this thematic axis is reviewed after the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (United Nations Organization, 2006), that is, since 2011, the barriers identified for access to employment and subsequently the alternatives proposed in the country for access to the work of this state and private population are presented. The research is qualitative and its methodological approach is the hermeneutic and was carried out through an analysis of the content of standards and literature on the subject under study. The results showed that regulatory development is broad and sufficient to guarantee well-being in work environments. Likewise, the barriers that this population has for participation and equality at work are identified from the laws and different authors and in turn there are alternatives that have contributed to minimize those barriers which have contributed to social inclusion but may become insufficient respect for Unemployment rates, job offers and occupational profiles that are offered being necessary to create stronger educational and business bridges that not only allow access to employment but also conditions of permanence and follow-up in labor matters for people with disabilities.
