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.'
