ILO data highlights need for disability disaggregated labour force surveys and investment in data systems
Data on labour market disparities between persons with and without disabilities are essential to inform transformative policymaking and programming.

Investment in national data systems is needed to advance disability inclusion. This blog focuses on Africa, where we see progress toward more inclusive data systems in many countries, but gaps remain.
