Una economía digital inclusiva para las personas con discapacidad

ILO
The International Labour Organization is the tripartite U.N. agency that promotes Decent Work through employment, social security, labour standards and social dialogue. Its work on skills development is guided by the conceptual framework on Skills to improve productivity, employment growth, and development agreed in 2008 by representatives of Governments, Employers’ Associations and Workers’ Associations. Research, policy advice, and pilot projects and technical cooperation programmes to apply good practices in different circumstances across its 185 member States aims to boost the employability of workers, the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises, and the inclusiveness of economic growth. The ILO Secretariat in offices in 40 countries works with Ministries of Labour, employers’ organizations, and trade unions to integrate skills development into national and sector development strategies in order to better meet current labour market needs and to prepare for the jobs of the future; to expand access to employment-related training so that youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are better able to acquire skills and secure productive and decent work; and to improve the ability of public employment services to provide career guidance, maintain labour exchange services, and deliver active labour market programmes.For more information regarding the ILO’s work on skills and employability go to: http://www.ilo.org/skills/lang--en/index.htm; for ILO/Cinterfor's Knowledge Management Plarform, see: http://www.oitcinterfor.org
People with disabilities
Of an estimated 1 billion people with disabilities in the world today, some 785 million are of working age. While many are successfully employed and fully integrated into society, most face a disproportionate level of poverty and unemployment. This is a massive loss both to them and their countries. A strategy of including people with disabilities in training and employment promotion policies, combined with targeted supports to ensure their participation, can help disabled persons obtain productive mainstream employment.
Research papers
Working papers, reports, and other publications from international organizations, academic institutions and bilateral agencies. Research findings to stimulate informed debate on skills, employment and productivity issues.
Coeditado por la Fundación ONCE y la Red Mundial de Empresas y Discapacidad de la OIT, el informe analiza más de cerca la transformación digital del mundo del trabajo y cómo afecta las oportunidades y desafíos para la inclusión de las personas con discapacidad.
Por un lado, las herramientas digitales permiten a las personas con discapacidad acceder directamente al empleo a través de plataformas de contratación en línea. Las herramientas digitales también pueden ayudarlos en sus tareas diarias en el lugar de trabajo, entre otras oportunidades.
Por otro lado, si no poseen las habilidades necesarias, si las TIC les resultan inasequibles o si las herramientas digitales no son accesibles, las personas con discapacidad no se beneficiarán de estas oportunidades y, por lo tanto, corren el riesgo de quedarse atrás.
