Details

  • Description:
    The Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) was created as a “city group” by the United Nations (UN) Statistical Commission to address the need for population-based measures of disability, and to develop principles and standard forms for internationally comparable global indicators of disability. ; NCHS hosted the first WG meeting in 2002 and serves as Secretariat for the group. NCHS has also chaired the WG Steering Committee since its launch. WG is a cooperative effort among national statistical offices of developed and developing countries, international statistical organizations, development agencies and organizations, and international and regional organizations representing persons with disabilities. The group works to develop internationally comparable disability measures for censuses and national surveys. Other goals include improving the collection and interpretation of information on disability, enhancing comparability with other national and international data collections, and providing the detailed information needed to fully understand the complexities of disability. ; CS318029 ; For more information about WG, visit http://www.washingtongroup-disability.com. ; factsheet-wg-on-disability.pdf
