In recent years, many countries have made significant efforts to improve statistics on their labour markets. Regular labour force surveys have been set up and the use of international standards and
definitions has been intensified. As a result, accurate and up-to-date labour market information is now available for many regions of the world. Yet, comprehensive, reliable statistical information on the
employment situation of people with disability is rarely available, especially in developing countries. Furthermore, international comparability is lacking in the field of disability statistics since definitions of
disability are mostly based on individual national regulations rather than international standards.
