Abstract (Translated): 
This article analyzes the local dynamics of the labor market for the population with disabilities (PCD) in five main cities of Colombia. Based on data from the Register for the Location and Characterization of Persons with Disabilities (2018), the rates of employment, unemployment, informality and income are analyzed, among other indicators of the PCD. Also, from the data of the Public Employment Service (2018), a labor match was estimate in order to determine the possibilities of access that the labor market offers to the PCD. Our results show the unemployment rates that oscillate between 17,0% and 41,0%, the information rates between 69,0% and 81,2%, coverage in the training for work of maximum 6,8%; as well as a matching function with asymmetries with respect to the probabilities of finding work (26,1%) and filling vacancies for PCD (73,9%). Finally, we reviewed the progress of various local inclusive employment initiatives for PCD that can be considered as a reference of good practices to reduce asymmetries between demand and labor supply.
