Различия и неравенства в здравето при лицата с различна степен на увреждания
Differences and inequalities in health among people with various degree of disability

Summary/Abstract: One of the most topical and painful social policy issues in Bulgaria today is the status of people with disabilities, the paths to its legitimization, and the changes that society expects to see in this regard. To design policies that respond to societal expectations, more information is needed, acquired both from existing statistical data and from targeted empirical studies. This article discusses the results from a 2017 survey of health inequality. We analyze and evaluate the differences and inequalities between subcategories of people with disabilities. We underscore that looking at this group of people as a whole masks the specific needs of each subcategory. What’s more, such a one-size-fits-all approach makes it difficult to develop individually tailored social policies in line with the abilities and needs of different people.
