Abstract

Disabled persons living below poverty line are victims of dual disadvantages of disability and poverty which influence each other. Disability along with poverty has its negative effects on employment, health and livelihood earnings. The activity status of the disabled persons is broadly classified into non-economic status and economic status. The first category does not belong to labour force (out of labour force) whereas the second category belongs to labour force (both employed and unemployed). This study has found that in India the number of disabled people in rural area is higher than that in urban area and the number of disabled males is higher than the number of disabled females both in rural area and urban area. It appears that the prevalence of disability varies with age, and there is significant difference between the Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) of disabled males and females both in rural and urban area.
