New Releases: WG Country Reports on Disability

About the WG Country Reports on Disability

In 2019, the Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) membership endorsed the development of standard reports on disability from countries. The main purpose of the country disability reports is to disseminate basic, comparable disability statistics for as many countries as possible.

Each report follows a standard template, and includes content and analytic approaches developed and endorsed by the WG membership. The analyses presented in the reports are based on disability data collection and analytic methodologies developed by the WG, including data collected using the Short Set on Functioning (WG-SS), which has been included in the 2020 round of censuses and other censuses and population surveys in a growing number of countries.

Reports released to date may be found here.
