Abstract

The economic crisis and the successive labor reforms are involving substantial changes in the labor market in Spain. This article analyzes the impact they are having these socio-economic and labor market access to employment of the group of persons with disabilities, from the perspective of the socio-political theory of citizenship changes, assessing the role that employment policies aimed this group to minimize the effects of the crisis in the context of public spending cuts and dwindling social rights. To do this by analyzing structural and economic data of the labor market in Spain will discuss how they are affecting the economic crisis and the new labor market trends in the occupational structure of the group and the influence of employment policies aimed at collective to cushion the impact of the crisis on the labor market. This quantitative analysis is complemented by a qualitative study life histories of a sample of persons with disabilities of working age, which gives us insight into the mechanisms of articulating the collective discrimination and inequality in access to employment. The data show that the crisis is negatively affecting both access to employment for people with disabilities and the working condi- tions of those who are working, sharpening its precariousness, segmentation and zoning, as well as higher labor dualization within the collective.
