Limitación al derecho del trabajo en la Ley de Discapacidades en Ecuador.

Abstract

This document examines the historical evolution of labor inclusion for people with disabilities, highlighting the discrimination they have faced over time and the legislative advances made to promote their rights. Globally, people with disabilities have been socially and professionally marginalized, although awareness of their inclusion has increased with the Industrial Revolution and civil rights movements. In Ecuador, the enactment of the Organic Law on Disabilities in 2012 is a significant milestone, but challenges in effective implementation remain. The research focuses on proposing a reform to the final clause of Article 47 of this law, which currently conditions the labor inclusion of people with disabilities based on the nature of employment contracts, potentially constituting indirect discrimination. The proposal aims to eliminate this legal barrier and promote a normative framework that ensures equal employment opportunities for all people with disabilities, aligning with international human rights standards.
