- Synopsis
- Disability is a development issue. Of the 72 million children out of school worldwide, approximately two thirds have disabilities. In some African countries, the unemployment rate for disabled people reaches 90% and it is higher in every country worldwide. The Millennium Development Goals will not be reached if the causes behind such statistics are not addressed and disabled people are not fully included in all development initiatives. The first book and introduction to the `Disability and Inclusive Development series, Disability and Inclusive Development provides an excellent background to the subject. It is also a call to action, to change international policy and practice towards real inclusion and participation of disabled people in social, economic, community and political life. Written for students and academics in the development field, it will also be useful to development practitioners who need to understand the impact of disability on development.
