abstract: 'Disability has received limited attention on the global data and social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy scene. There are few global data portals or indices tracking the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic situation of persons with disabilities. Global social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy initiatives tend to focus on disability benefits, while other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social policies may impact the situation of persons with disabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The absence of internationally comparable data and tools to measure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disability could explain this lack of attention until recently. Given
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
progress with respect to measuring disability, this article set out to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
find out if human development indicators can be disaggregated by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disability status using census and mainstream survey data and, if they
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can, consider what such disaggregation reveals regarding the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic situation of persons with disabilities and derive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implications for social policies. Disability status is measured through
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
self-reports of functional difficulties (e.g. seeing, hearing). For 19
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low- and middle-income countries, the median prevalence stands at 13\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among adults aged 15 years and older, and at 28\% among households. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
could disaggregate a range of human development indicators across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disability status for all countries. There are consistent inequalities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with disability, particularly in terms of educational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attainment, employment population ratio, multidimensional poverty, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
food security. At the same time, we find that not all persons with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
functional difficulties experience deprivations. Results in this article
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on the prevalence of functional difficulties and their association with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic deprivations show that disability should be central to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social policies globally. More data collection, research, and policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work are needed to curb the inequalities associated with disability.'
