The aim of this work is to analyze the situation of disabled people in the labor market in Mexico, taking into account socioeconomic variables and the spatial dimension. The results of our analysis provide guidelines for actions geared at improving the inclusion of disabled people in the labor market, and, as a consequence, in society. We apply cluster analysis to thirty-two Mexican federal states using data of the XII Censo de Población y Vivienda 2000; this allows us to identify spatial correlation processes and therefore spatial clusters. A dual structure emerges in the distribution of disabled people in the Mexican labor market, showing that effective economic policies to encourage the inclusion of disabled people into the labor market must take into account the socioeconomic diversity of different geographical areas.

Resumen

Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la situación de las personas con discapacidades en el mercado laboral en México, tomando en cuenta las variables socioeconómicas y la dimensión espacial. Los resultados de nuestro análisis proporcionan directrices para la adopción de medidas encaminadas a mejorar la integración de las personas con discapacidades en el mercado laboral y, como consecuencia de ello, en la sociedad. Podemos aplicar el análisis por conglomerados de treinta y dos estados federales de México con los datos del censo para el año 2000, que nos permite identificar procesos de correlación espacial y, por lo tanto, conglomerados geográficos. Una doble estructura emerge en la distribución de las personas con discapacidades en el mercado laboral mexicano, lo que demuestra que para las políticas económicas eficaces favorecer la inclusión de personas con discapacidades en el mercado laboral deben tener en cuenta la diversidad socioeconómica de las distintas zonas geográficas.
