6.2. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES 6.2.1. Introduction Data on People with Disabilities (PWD) in Serbia is scarce. Existing statistical research does not systematically examine PWDs. Importantly there are no official data on the total number of PWDs, type of disability and other relevant data that would facilitate the monitoring of living standards of this group, as well as defining policies and measures for creating the conditions that would improve their quality of life. Society needs to ensure the active inclusion of PWDs in social and economic life, with the aim of facilitating the fulfilment of their rights which are guaranteed through international documents and the Strategy for the Improvement of the Position of PWDs, adopted by the GoS towards the end of 2006. There is no universally agreed definition of disability. Defining disability is complex and controversial. Disability is usually considered as the outcome of complex interactions between the functional limitations arising from a person's physical, intellectual or mental condition and the social and physical environment. There is a large consensus that restrictions on being able to undertake everyday activities are a key issue. The main debates between disabled people organizations and specialists of the area are focused on inclusion or not of chronic diseases, the mental health dimension and the level of restriction of activity to consider a person to be disabled. In addition, it is a complex issue to create a representative sample frame of PWDs in Serbia. The records for PWDs are kept by various organisations and creating one complete count of PWDs without the risk of double counting and coming up against issues of confidentiality means that, after wide consultation, it was agreed not to create a specific sub sample of PWD households. Instead to gather enough cases for examination of the issues relating to PWDs some questions were added to the questionnaire to broaden the definition of PWDs. The distribution of these questions can be seen in Table 4. After examination of the LSMS data it was decided that for the purpose of analysis for this chapter the following questions would be used to define PWDs: 1. Handicap has been confirmed by a medical commission (question H10 health module) 2. There is no access for PWDS up to 7 years in the compulsory preparatory pre-school programme (question D3a education module). 3. Students aged 7-19 are attending a special school for children with disabilities (question O1 education module). 4. A household member been “strongly limited” in performing his/her usual activities over the past six months (question H3 health module). Based on the above definition LSMS 2007 included 1 671 PWDs (9.6 percent of the total sample population). Table 6.4. The Minimum European Health Module and LSMS results 4 H1. How is your health in general? (percent) Very good 27 Good 33 Fair 21 Bad 15 Very bad 4 H2 Do you have a long standing illness or health problem? (percent) Yes 32 No 68 H3. For at least the past 6 months have you been limited in activities that people usually do because of a health problem? (percent) Yes, strongly limited 19 Yes limited 41 No 40 6.2.2. Demographic characteristics of PWDs and poverty Most PWDs fall within two age groups: 45-59 (30.0 percent) and 60+ (57.6 percent). This could indicate that persons who have become disabled at work, i.e. during the final third of their working life, dominate this population of PWDs. Of these PWDs, 8.3 percent fall within the 30-44 age group, 2.0 percent are aged 20-29, 0.9 percent aged 15-19, 1.0 percent aged 7-14 age group and 0.1 percent within the 0-6 age group. The distribution of PWDs by gender and age is relatively equal. 76 Living Standards Measurements Study - Serbia 2002 - 2007
It is noticeable that more PWDs aged 60+ live in rural areas (62.3 percent), than in urban areas (53.7 percent), whereas the situation is reversed with regard to the other age groups within the 15-59 age categories, i.e. more live in urban areas. PWDs within the 30-44 age group were present in all regions. The highest proportion of this age group was in West Serbia (12.8 percent) followed by Vojvodina (9.1 percent), Belgrade (8.2 percent), South East Serbia (8.2 percent), Sumadija (5.1 percent) and East Serbia (5.9 percent). Overall 8.1 percent of PWDs live below the poverty line, compared to 6.6 of the total population of Serbia. Of the total number of PWDs who are poor, most are elderly (68.5 percent of the total number of PWDs living below the poverty line). The proportion of poor among the 45-59 age group was 14.5 percent, while that of the 30-44 age group was 9.6 percent. In 2007, 60.8 percent of PWDs were married, 9.4 percent were single, 4.7 percent were divorced and 25.1 percent were widowed. By gender, 73.5 percent of the men and half of the women with disabilities (49.9 percent) were married, 11.8 percent of men and 7.2 percent of women were single. It is characteristic that the proportion of divorced women (6.2 percent) is significantly greater than that of men (2.9 percent), and the proportion of widows (36.6 percent) is much greater than that of widowers (11.8%). There were virtually no differences by poor and non poor PWDs in relation to marital status. Table 6.5.
