Abstract

Este artículo analiza las dinámicas locales del mercado laboral para población con discapacidad (PCD) en cinco importantes ciudades de Colombia. A partir de los datos obtenidos del Registro para la Localización y Caracterización de Personas con Discapacidad (2018) y del Servicio Público de Empleo (2018) se estimaron las tasas locales de ocupación, desempleo, informalidad e ingresos de la PCD y además se construyó una función de emparejamiento laboral para determinar las posibilidades de acceso que brinda el mercado laboral a la PCD. Los resultados muestran tasas municipales de desempleo que oscilan entre el 17,0% y el 41,0%, tasas de ocupación sin contrato entre el 69,0% y el 81,2%, coberturas en capacitación para el trabajo de máximo 6,8%; así como una función de emparejamiento con asimetrías con respecto a las probabilidades de encontrar trabajo (26,1%) y de ocupar vacantes para la PCD (73,9%). Finalmente, se revisaron los avances de iniciativas locales de empleo inclusivo para PCD que pueden considerarse como referencia de buenas prácticas para reducir las asimetrías entre la demanda y la oferta de trabajo. || This article analyzes the local dynamics of the labor market for the population with disabilities (PCD) in five main cities of Colombia. Based on data from the Register for the Location and Characterization of Persons with Disabilities (2018), the rates of employment, unemployment, informality and income are analyzed, among other indicators of the PCD. Also, from the data of the Public Employment Service (2018), a labor match was estimate in order to determine the possibilities of access that the labor market offers to the PCD. Our results show the unemployment rates that oscillate between 17,0% and 41,0%, the information rates between 69,0% and 81,2%, coverage in the training for work of maximum 6,8%; as well as a matching function with asymmetries with respect to the probabilities of finding work (26,1%) and filling vacancies for PCD (73,9%). Finally, we reviewed the progress of various local inclusive employment initiatives for PCD that can be considered as a reference of good practices to reduce asymmetries between demand and labor supply.
