Access to work is part of the struggle to recognize and guarantee the rights and citizenship of people with disabilities. This study assumes that disability is a social and historical phenomenon, as provided by the Social Model of Disability. Therefore, it aims to carry out an integrative review of the Brazilian literature on the insertion of people with disabilities at work, qualitatively analyzing their inclusion from secondary data, obtained from a bibliographic survey and scientometrics and bibliometrics techniques, based on information about the theme in the national scientific production of the last decade (2008-2018). The results point to the low participation of people with disabilities in the labor market due to employers’ prejudice, difficulties in social inclusion due to the absence of adaptive actions in the organizational environment, and precarious quality of life at work.
