BACKGROUND
There is a lack of evidence on barriers faced by persons with disability in accessing employment opportunities in India.
AIM
This study was undertaken to ascertain both employee and employer perceptions on barriers existing among Information Technology (IT) and IT-enabled sectors to employ persons with disabilities.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Two hundred participants from six IT/IT-enabled sector organizations were included in the study; study was conducted at Hyderabad, India. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to the participants.
RESULTS
Physical access to and within the worksite was highlighted as a concern by 95% of respondents. Majority perceived that communication, attitude of people, discrimination, harassment at work place, and information were critical barriers. Only 3.8% of employers were aware that their company had a written policy on employing persons with disabilities. Employers stated that commitment and perseverance were important facilitators among persons with disabilities.
CONCLUSIONS
Evidence from this study will help in planning need-based employment for persons with disabilities.
