| description |
Disability and poverty are dynamic and
intricately linked phenomena. In developed countries, a
large body of empirical research shows that persons with
disabilities experience inter alia comparatively lower
educational attainment, lower employment and higher
unemployment rates, worse living conditions, and higher
poverty rates. This study aims to contribute to the
empirical research on social and economic conditions of
people with disabilities in developing countries. Using
comparable data and methods across countries, this study
presents a snapshot of economic and poverty situation of
working-age persons with disabilities and their households
in fifteen developing countries. This research is relevant
for several reasons. First, it contributes to a currently
small body of empirical evidence on the economic status of
persons with disabilities in developing countries. Second,
by providing a baseline data on the economic well-being and
the poverty status of working-age persons with disabilities
and their households in 2003 in the countries under study,
it can inform national disability policies. Finally, this
study can also inform future data and research efforts on
disability in developing countries. This study is structured
as follows. Section two provides definitions and some
background on disability and poverty. Section three
describes the data and methods. Section four presents
disability prevalence estimates in the fifteen developing
countries under study and results on the economic well-being
of working-age population at the individual and household
levels. Section five gives results of an analysis of
multidimensional poverty across disability status. Section
six concludes definitions and some background information on
disability and poverty, describes some of the linkages
between them and reviews recent literature on the
socioeconomic status of persons with disability. |
