Description:People with disabilities are normally affected by discrimination in their right to work.There is a mixture of social imaginaries around the idea that these people are not ableto perform a job, or that they would do it less productively. There is also a great deal ofignorance around the subject, and a rejection of the need to adapt the admission tests oreventually the facilities in the working space. This has led to the creation of a variety ofpublic policies of professional integration, one of which is the obligation to have a share ofpositions for the people with disabilities. This article is grounded on a research towards thedecision making of one policy of employment share in Costa Rica, which was legislated in 2010. From the normative context and a brief review of the wide international experiencewith this kind of policy, a synthesis is made of the policy design in Costa Rica.
