Item El emprendimiento en las personas con discapacidad(Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2024-08) Lluglla Ojeda, Matias Sebastian; Espín Miniguano, Anita DalilaPeople with disabilities face a reality of abrupt changes and limitations, both in the social and work environment: they are victims of discrimination, suffer from lack of opportunities, and have limited access to resources and funding. In this context, entrepreneurship presents itself as an alternative for these individuals, as having their own work activity allows them to adapt the workplace to their specific conditions, demonstrate and develop their abilities and skills, strengthen their self-esteem, have a positive influence on their economic growth, that of their family and the community. For this reason, it was of great importance to analyze the factors of entrepreneurship in people with disabilities integrated into the "San Pedro de Pelileo" Foundation. This analysis allowed for a deep understanding of the motivations, challenges, and specific needs of this group when initiating and developing these types of projects. The sample consisted of 8 disabled individuals between the ages of 20 and 31, belonging to the aforementioned institution. The research was based on a qualitative approach, where a semi-structured interview was used as a data collection instrument to explore the abilities, competencies, and attitudes of people with disabilities in entrepreneurial projects, in order to promote their realization. The main results show that entrepreneurship, for the study group, is an illusion, an idea, a passion, and a determination that allows for development, success, and turning this entrepreneurship into a passion. It encompasses various types, such as social, investment, and innovative entrepreneurship. Additionally, entrepreneurship promotes abilities, provides innovation, generates skills for guidance and motivation, as it allows them to overcome obstacles. It is concluded that it was possible to identify abilities, competencies, and skills for entrepreneurship, such as resilience, autonomy, determination, adaptability, creativity, motivation, innovation, planning and organizational skills, in people with disabilities. As a result of this study, a proposal for activities to enhance entrepreneurship in people with disabilities belonging to the San Pedro de Pelileo Foundation was developed
