Résumé

La présente étude est le résultat d'une recherche empirique sur le rôle des compétences digitale, de l'hébergement et de l'assistance technologique pour l'emploi des personnes handicapées. Cette recherche a été menée par la Fondation roumaine "Alături de Voi" (ADV) pour identifier et analyser les défis rencontrés par les personnes handicapées sur le marché du travail en Roumanie dans le cadre d'un projet mené par le Forum européen des personnes handicapées (EDF), une organisation qui travaille au niveau européen pour promouvoir les droits des personnes handicapées. Plus de la moitié des personnes handicapées en Europe n'ont pas d'emploi, même si nombre d'entre elles sont prêtes à travailler. Les personnes handicapées qui souhaitent travailler ne connaissent pas toutes les facilités prévues par le cadre législatif européen et national. La recherche sociologique prend comme point de départ le droit des personnes handicapées au travail, quelle que soit leur localisation, à l'égalité des chances sur le marché du travail, à des conditions de travail décentes, y compris grâce à l'utilisation des technologies modernes. Les méthodes suivantes ont été utilisées pour mener cette recherche sociologique: (1) la recherche documentaire, qui consistait à examiner les stratégies, les programmes et les politiques publiques nationales liées à l'éducation, à la formation et à l'emploi des personnes handicapées; (2) analyse de données secondaires basée sur les statistiques fournies par Eurostat et l'Institut national des statistiques concernant les conditions des personnes handicapées sur le marché du travail; (3) l'application d'un total de 27 questionnaires aux entreprises/organisations pour collecter des informations sur le niveau d'éducation et de formation des personnes handicapées dans les compétences numériques, les programmes et initiatives liés aux opportunités d'apprentissage tout au long de la vie, les politiques de ressources humaines des organisations en Roumanie concernant l'emploi des les personnes handicapées et les modèles de meilleures pratiques dans l'application de la technologie pour faciliter le travail des personnes ayant des besoins spéciaux. Cette étude sociologique ne représente pas la position officielle d'EDF ou d'ADV.
