Disablement in the 3rd World: Demography of Living Standards

2005

This project, working in collaboration with Disabled Peoples' International (DPI), will conduct an analysis of World Bank economic development data in 24 developing nations of the world. The goal of the analysis is to describe basic demographics and their relationship to the living standards of persons with a disability. Primary areas of emphasis are: 1)characterization of employment, economic status, and social well being (i.e. access to health services, supports, assets), 2) estimation of the magnitute of disablement within nations, 3)identification of subgroups within each nation that are most vulnerable to disablement, 4)analysis of the status of women with a disability, 5)identification of unique regional concerns and 6) broad comparisons of the living standards in the developing world to the US.
