abstract: 'Two household surveys completed with qualitative interviews were carried
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
out in 2013 and 2014 in Morocco and Tunisia, two countries which
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ratified the United Nations convention of the rights of persons with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities and actively engaged in innovative policies to promote
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those rights. The two surveys look at inequalities among persons with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities in terms of capabilities, i.e. real opportunities a person
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has to live the life she values. Based on the capability approach of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Amartya Sen, analysis presented in this study show an important gap in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
terms of education, employment and health related quality of life - a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
somehow more narrow perspective on wellbeing than the one proposed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sen, but nevertheless interesting to compare two populations - for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
persons with disabilities compared to the rest of the population in both
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries. If the situation seems improved for the new generation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compared to their parents'' generation, access to education - which is a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
right for children with disabilities in Morocco and Tunisia - is far
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from being secured in both countries. Similarly, access to employment of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
persons with disabilities remains uncertain, in more precarious jobs and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for lower wages than the rest of the working age population. Social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exclusion that persons with disabilities face - as shown in the case of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education and employment - have a considerable cost in terms of health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
related quality of life estimated to be the equivalent of a reduction of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
20 and 18 years, respectively in Morocco and Tunisia, of the average
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
life expectancy of persons in good health and without a disability. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recent policy against discrimination and for the promotion of the rights
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the persons with disabilities are going in the right direction but a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strong political will is required for them to become long term. Civil
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
society has an important role to play to keep the current momentum. (C)
