Statistical study of the disablement level in the Russian Federation

Priorities of the state policy in the sphere of support for disabled people and persons with disabilities are defined in the State Program of the Russian Federation "Accessibility" for 2011-2020. As key tasks it was established that the activities carried out by state authorities in this sphere are aimed at providing conditions for the accessibility of facilities and services in priority spheres of life of these categories of citizens, as well as at providing these categories of citizens with technical means of rehabilitation and the provision of quality services to create an "accessibility". In addition, the social protection system should include all elements of social security for needy categories of citizens, both in cash and in the real social adaptation forms. The state policy on disabled people should be oriented towards ensuring equal rights and opportunities for disabled people, whose main goal is to ensure the full and effective participation of disabled people in the political, economic, social and cultural life of states. In connection with the foregoing, the current task is to comprehensively study the trends in the level of disablement in Russia in order to make informed decisions in social policy.
