ESTUDO NA LITERATURA INDEXADA NA BASE DE DADOS DA SCOPUS SOBRE INCLUSÃO DE PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the international scientific production on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market. The study was carried out through a systematic literature review, identifying publications on the subject in different areas of knowledge. A survey was carried out of the countries and universities that have relevant international production, the main authors, the media where they were published, and what were the main terms used in the identified researches. We used a descriptive methodology with a quanti-qualitative approach that was divided into two stages: (1) a survey on the international production on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market using as a source the Scopus database, and (2) a qualitative analysis of the main concepts. The results showed that the largest areas of knowledge identified in this database, with regard to the theme are: Social Sciences and Business. England stands out among the countries with the most publications on the theme. Ten authors were identified with the highest number of publications, between 6 and 19 articles published, being possible to identify and analyze a co-authorship network. As a result, it is suggested that further work should apply a qualitative approach to the identified papers, allowing an analysis of the main concepts, enabling the identification of which are the most used, and the verification of possible differences in the understanding of the theme.
