Also a self-explanatory and important dimension of diversity. The data only tell us whether the disability is mobility-related or not. If not related to mobility, the disability is related to vision, hearing or some other impairment. Individuals who are vision- or hearing-impaired require special consideration at meetings or presentations.

Key variable

• Persons 16 to 64 years … percent with a mobility or self-care limitation; with a work disability
