Perception of deaf people

Bys: Reyes Galeano, Ederson and Sarria Bonilla, Wilmer Andrés

In Villavicencio, a high proportion of deaf people are of legal age to enter the workforce. However, according to the most recent data collected, only 6% of this demographic group is currently employed. Of these, 0.1% work in the livestock sector, 2% in agriculture, 1.9% provide services, 1.5% work in commercial activities, and 0.5% are involved in industrial activities. In contrast, the remaining 94% are inactive at work, a multifaceted phenomenon that will be addressed in this study.The research project is based on a field study approach and adopts a descriptive methodology. Its objective is to expose the labor issues faced by the deaf community, analyzing the causes of their perceived lack of inclusion in the workplace. It proposes to mitigate these barriers through strategies that reinforce their learning, professional training and written competence in Spanish as a second language. The purpose is to equip this community with the necessary skills to access jobs, thus raising their quality of life.
