Opis

A third of poor people are disabled in the developing world. How much do we know about their livelihood? Are they entirely powerless and dependent on family members? How do they earn income? These questions have become more important than ever, now that persons with disabilities (PWDs) in developing countries are awakened to rights and entitlements and that the international community started considering incorporation of disability into the context of poverty reduction. This book highlights opportunities and challenges faced by PWDs in the developing countries.
