Synopsis

The India Social Development Report 2016: Disability Rights Perspectives presents new research in the areas of disability studies, housing rights, labour, displacement and financial inclusion, besides providing a social development index that is cumulative across the different editions of the social development report. The thematic focus of the Social Development Report 2016 is Disability, a little researched and poorly understood area in the social sciences and humanities in India, as also in development discourse. This report presents the results of studies that have been carried out on health, socio-economic status, education, custodial facilities, employment, higher education, women and girls encompassing the diversity of life-worlds of persons with disabilities. The essays in the second and third sections also present new, previously unpublished research on various aspects of social development: financial inclusion, female labour migration, caste and Swachch Bharat Abhiyan, housing poverty, the socio-economic status of the elderly and a fresh assessment of displacement.
