10 Guidelines and Principles for the Development of Disability Statistics

This publication, oriented to statisticians, provides guidelines and principles for collecting, compiling and disseminating statistics on persons with disabilities. Examples are included from both developing and developed countries. Although technical in approach, this publication is useful to managers of disability programmes, as they are essential partners in developing objectives for a data collection activity and the use of the resulting data. Researchers in the disability field may also benefit from the general information on methods.
