This paper deals with the theme of Public Policies for Inclusion. This study aims to analyze the possible barriers and challenges encountered by chronic renal patients undergoing hemodialysis in the insertion in the labor market. Specifically, to identify them from the perspective of the subjects, to discuss the implications and difficulties that recognition as person with disabilities brings to public policies of inclusion and the labor market. To support this analysis, current laws were used, authors who problematize the struggle for recognition as Charles Taylor and the issue of Human Rights. It is a qualitative research, of the bibliographic and documentary. Field research was also used to understand the subjects’ perception. Six (6) renal patients participated who were interviewed through semi- structured interviews, but at the end of the research, five participants remained.. Information collection was collected between August and November 2019. For the development of this research, data triangulation was applied for analysis. It was concluded that the subjects show some disbelief as to the possibility of acquiring rights, presenting as a barrier to the insertion in the labor market the time allocated to the treatment. Recognition as a person with disabilities needs to be worked on between governmental and non-governmental bodies, society and patients, so that they can enjoy inclusion and labor market policies. The difficulty of accessing information, the insufficiency of the current regislation,the incapacity and the unpreparedness of employers to recognize the deficiency of kidney, are some facts that reflect the slow progress of implementation or changes in public policies that corroborate their insertion in the market of work.
