This work investigates the insertion of people with visual deficiency in the labor market
focusing on private companies in the Metropolitan area of Belém, from 2000 to 2006. Labor
market is considered in this study as a complex system which results from the predominant
rules of the relationship between capital and work. However, at the same time, there are
insertion mechanisms based on criteria which are not always explicit and that can lead to
discriminatory outcomes. The research was mainly based on data collected from private
companies of the Metropolitan Region of Belém. This research shows that, throughout that
period, the insertion of people with visual deficiency in the labor market in Belém was
short, and that there was a significant disparity between the insertion of people with low
vision and blind ones, the latter being almost non-existent in private companies within the
Metropolitan Region of Belém.
