abstract: 'Livelihoods, or the means to secure the necessities of life, shape how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we live as individuals, families and communities, and our sense of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well-being. While discussions of livelihoods have influenced academic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discussions and government actions in international development over the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
past 25 years, few have discussed the implications of a livelihoods
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approach for people with disabilities in the context of global Northern
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
societies. This paper argues that by using a livelihoods approach, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can recognize the multiple and, at times, conflicting ways that people
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with disabilities sustain themselves and secure the necessities of life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A livelihoods approach recognizes the agency of individuals, including
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those with disabilities, in the context of their relationships in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households, families and communities, while also identifying the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemic barriers, inequalities and opportunities that shape livelihood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
choices. Using this approach, we argue, will enable a better
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understanding of how people with disabilities both survive and thrive,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the diverse livelihood choices they make and the implications these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
choices have for policy decisions.'
