ISBN: 9781137536372 出版年：2017 页码：193 Mitra, Sophie Springer

This open access book introduces the human development model to define disability and map its links with health and wellbeing, based on sen?s capability approach. The author uses panel survey data with internationally comparable questions on disability for ethiopia, malawi, tanzania and uganda. It presents evidence on the prevalence of disability and its strong and consistent association with multidimensional poverty, mortality, economic insecurity and deprivations in education, morbidity and employment.
