E-book Disability in Indonesia : What can We Learn from the Data?
Indonesia recently passed Law No 8 /2016. This law follows the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities in 2011 and commits the Indonesian government to the eradication of discrimination against people with disabilities and to actively work to support and provide services to this segment of the population. It also espouses the principle that public programs be inclusive and accessible to people with disabilities. 1 This document seeks to use Indonesia’s statistical resources to establish a baseline from which progress in disabilityinclusiveness can be measured and also to highlight areas for immediate policy attention. It has been estimated that between 4% and 11% of the Indonesian population is affected by a disability that limits their ability to participate in society.
