World Programme of Action concerning Disabled
Persons
  • Goals
  • To promote the participation of persons with
    disabilities in all aspects of life
  • preventing the onset and consequences of
    impairments,
  • promoting optimal levels of functioning,
  • equalizing opportunities for participation.
  • United Nations, New York, 1983

3
Framework
  • The International Classification of Functioning
    and Disability (ICF) is a guide for the
    measurement design.

4
Purposes of the harmonized mensuration of
disability
  • to provide services, including the development of
    programs and polices for service provision and
    the evaluation of these programs and services,
  • to monitor the level of functioning in the
    population,
  • to assess equalization of opportunities.

5
International relevance and feasibility of
implementation
  • Relevance
  • Is the purpose of relatively equal importance
    across countries with respect to policy?
  • Feasibility
  • Is it possible to collect the proposed
    information using a comparable general disability
    measure that includes a small set of census-like
    questions?

6
Evaluation of purposes Relevance and Feasibility
  • Provision of Services
  • Relevance (yes) Feasibility (no)
  • Monitoring the level of functioning in the
    population
  • Relevance (yes) Feasibility (no)
  • Assessing equalization of opportunity
  • Relevance (yes) Feasibility (yes)

7
Purpose for the measure
  • Assessment of equalization of opportunities as
    the purpose for the first general disability
    measure to be developed by the WG.

8
Benefits
  • Identification of a broad subpopulation, which
    can be further described using detailed
    information obtained via extended survey sets.
  • Limitations
  • the general disability measure developed to suit
    the proposed purpose may not suit other purposes
  • no comprehensive assessment of disability or
    identification of the true disabled population
  • Lacking information about mechanisms that
    facilitate participation
  • Groups related to the NGOs on Disability and
    other related Organizations are not encouraging
    the identification of a large subpopulation of
    people with disability

9
Transition to Measurement
  • Measuring Activity and Participation
  • Willful actions
  • Specific tasks
  • Organized activity
  • Information considered indication of participation

10
Some Comments (I)
  • Necessity of Harmonization to have meaningful and
    comparable measures
  • Cultural Differences between countries continue
    to affect comparability
  • The need for the Census and Surveys teams
    tounderstand the purpose
  • Training people in the technical and operational
    teams
  • To achieve a concrete set of questions
    recommended for insertion in Censuses and Surveys

11
Some Comments (II)
  • Minimum set of Questions recommended
  • Questions must be operationalized by the
    countries according to local characteristics
  • Pilot tests harmonized and analyzed
  • Documentation of the results of the tests
  • Recommendations on Editing and Imputation of the
    new variables
  • Analyzing the results standardization of a
    minimal set of checks to be performed at the
    country level

12
More Comments (III)
  • Documentation on the limitations on comparability
    due to cultural and contextual factors for each
    one of the participating countries
  • Statistical measures on the accuracy of results
    (to establish comparisons)
