Who is disabled in China？

China is a country with a large number of disabled.Almost 60 million people have vision, hearing, speech, limb, intellectual or mental impairments.There is one disabled person in every 20 Chinese, and one out of every five households on average has a disabled family member.

According to nationwide surveys of the disabled, handicapped children under 14 account for 16 percent of the total handicapped population, and they display the greatest need for rehabilitative training as they display the highest recovery rates after early therapy.Those disabled between the ages of 15 and 59 account for 44 percent, but often their disabilities are not very severe.Although they are more or less able to work, they require vocational training, ‘cultural education’ and special employment.

The disabled over 60 years of age account for 40 percent.Many of them become handicapped due to illness or loss of various functions.Some live alone without any income, and therefore their insurance, rehabilitation, and medical needs have become a social issue.

The illiterate and semi-illiterate suffer from limited employment opportunities, and often they become socially handicapped as well.These people, often neglected, pose another social problem.
