This report aims to fill in the
knowledge gap in this field by analyzing cross-country data
on basic indicators, and by carrying out more detailed
empirical analysis on causal relationships of interest,
including the impact of disability on employment, wages,
poverty, and children's school enrollments-focusing on
four transition countries with household survey data sets
that allow more elaborate econometric analyses. This report
argues that it is timely to bring the economic costs of
disability to the forefront of development policy because of
the large impact poor health status and disabilities have on
employment, poverty, children's schooling, and time
spent in caring for disabled individuals, especially by
adult females (which in turn inhibits higher female labor
force participation prospectus). In recent years, there has
been some recognition of the need to discuss disability
issues in strategy documents such as poverty reduction
strategy papers (PRSPs) and country assistance strategies
(CASs). But in the absence of basic empirical evidence on
the living conditions and behavior of disabled individuals,
it is a challenge to formulate concrete steps to tackle this
particular economic development problem. |
