Evaluación del potencial emprendedor en las personas con discapacidad física leve y moderada y discapacidad intelectual leve en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito

Abstract

The systematic increase in economic entrepreneurship demonstrations by people with mild and moderate physical disabilities and mild intellectual disabilities in the Metropolitan District of Quito is revealed as a growing trend, with most of them being characterized by obstacles in access to sources of funding, training and recognition spaces for the authorities and society at large, which underestimate their true capacities and potentials to contribute economically to society. It should be noted that historically ness has maintained a conservative stance on the economic generation capacity of people with disabilities, considering that economic entrepreneurship can only be assumed by people with all their abilities, without taking into account that people with special conditions possess the same skills and can even manifest unique talents that allow their full transformation into successful entrepreneurs. The results derived from the research process highlight the existence of significant entrepreneurial potential and consider entrepreneurship a key element for the development of Ecuadorian society in the process of development and full guarantee for integration into it.
