“…In two communes in Vietnam, support from relatives, friends or the community for households with PWDs was not common; gifts and money were frequent on the occasion of New Year, but were not significant in value (Palmer et al, 2010). Another study reported that the Vietnamese government policy of "socialisation" which encourages communities to contribute money, food, clothing or moral support to PWDs and other disadvantaged groups was failing (Le et al, 2008).…”

“…Part of the reason for this is that cash benefits are generally low and set below the minimum wage to discourage disincentive effects (Gooding & Marriot, 2009). In Vietnam, cash transfers were described as being of "encouragement" value only (Palmer et al, 2010). In South Africa, however, the amount of the benefit is substantial, equal to about twice the per capita income for Africans (Mitra, 2010).…”

“…Community-based targeting models are common (e.g. Palmer et al, 2010). While committees of community representatives may be able to assess the local living standards of households and the extent to which disability limits economic and social participation within the local context accurately, 8 they may be less equipped to determine the status and severity of disability, and are open to political capture.…”

Social Protection and Disability: A Call for Action

This article reviews the relationship between social protection and disability in theory and practice. Persons with disabilities and their families may be considered among the most worthy recipients of social protection due to their vulnerability to chronic poverty and social exclusion. A review of cash transfer programmes for persons with disabilities reveals positive economic, social and service access outcomes. However, coverage and benefit levels remain low. This article calls for the state to play a greater role in the provision of social assistance for persons with disabilities in developing countries. Policies and programmes which protect economic security should be combined with those which promote an enabling environment in which people can achieve security of livelihood.

“…Disability, in particular, is a barrier often accompanied by economic and social hardships (Dalal, 2010;Choe, 2013;Palmer, 2012). Young adults with disabilities continue to have lower rates of employment than non-disabled peers (Gold, Fabian and Lucking, 2013).…”

The purpose of this research is to investigate the process of psychological empowerment by way of examining the effects of perceived employment barrier on employment hope, and employment hope on economic self-sufficiency. A structural equation modeling analysis was used with a sample of 517 participants in a job readiness program of a community-based social service organization in Chicago. Results indicate that employment hope mediates the path between perceived barriers and economic self-sufficiency. Findings provide preliminary evidence to support an empowerment-based approach to rehabilitation, promoting self-sufficiency among people with physical disabilities using interventions that address employment barriers and employment hope.

“…Furthermore, Palmer et al (2012) and World Bank (2009) find that households with disabled persons own less assets compared to other households, while Trani and Loeb (2012) suggest that there is no such a relationship. Poverty when measured by household expenditure suggests that probability of being poor is higher with disability (Mont & Viet Cuong, 2011;Filmer 2008;Hoogeveen, 2005).…”

Abstract:Sri Lanka has recorded a significant reduction in poverty in recent times. Yet, as in many other developing countries, little or nothing is known about poverty levels and reduction of poverty among the disabled or their households. The disabled and their families encounter different hardships than the typical deprivations of the poor. The recent literature questions the ability of the monetary approach in measuring poverty in general and especially among different groups like the disabled. Therefore, this study estimates both monetary and multidimensional poverty among the households with disabled persons, using the Household Income and Expenditure Survey data of 2006/07 and 2009/10. The study found that monetary and multidimensional poverty among households with disabled persons is higher than among other households. Even though multidimensional poverty is relatively low in Sri Lanka, the difference in multidimensional poverty levels between households with and without the disabled is high. Importantly, contributions from the three dimensions considered in this research to the incidence of poverty is almost equal, suggesting that further reduction of poverty in Sri Lanka requires improvements in all three dimensions -health, education and living standards-among poor households, with and without disabled persons.
