Abstract
The aim of this research project is to contribute to the socio-professional integration of people with disabilities in Cameroon: diagnosis and courses of action. As the scientific literature shows, entrepreneurship among people with disabilities is an alternative to salaried employment, which is difficult for this category of people to access. It is an important aspect of professional integration. According to the results of empirical research, promoting entrepreneurship among people with disabilities is an alternative to the barriers to access to employment for people with disabilities.
This document summarises the results of a non-exhaustive literature review on entrepreneurship by people with disabilities in 4 points: (1) The current state of research into entrepreneurship by people with disabilities; (2) Reasons for entrepreneurship among people with disabilities; (3) Barriers to entrepreneurship for people with disabilities; (4) Emerging strategies to promote entrepreneurship among people with disabilities.
To access the articles analysed, we download 105 documents (scientific articles and reports from international organisations). By applying the selection criterion relating to the relevance of the content of these documents to our research question, only 46 articles were retained for systematic analysis.
On the basis of a critical analysis of the results of previous research on entrepreneurship by people with disabilities, we conclude by suggesting the following emergence strategy corporate enterprises owned by people with disabilities. This strategy aims to ensure better management of the vulnerability caused by the low level of start-up capital of people with disabilities, especially in developing countries where the number of salaried jobs available is very low.
