Living Arrangement and Capability Deprivation of the Disabled in India
Published By: IDSK on eSS | Published Date: November, 01 , 2013This paper puts forward the argument that the living arrangement of a
disabled individual, or her/his marital status in particular, can be taken
as a proxy for some very important functionings that constitute her/his
well-being, viz. emotions (being able to have attachments to others,
able to love etc) and bodily integrity that includes ‘opportunity for sexual
satisfaction’ among others. The main source of data is NSS
58th Round (2002), which is supplemented by such other sources as
Census 2001. [IDS Occasional paper 41].
