The statistics are, as my colleagues have already said, quite staggering: 1 million to 1.2 million Kiwis are estimated to live with disabilities. That has profound implications for the way they live. People living with disabilities are much more likely to be unemployed: 45 percent in employment, as opposed to 72 percent of the non-disabled population. They are much more likely to have lower education: 30 percent of women living with disability have no educational qualifications, as opposed to 15 percent of non-disabled women. Disabled children are much less likely to play sport or participate in other social activity. These are matters that are relevant to this bill because this bill is about preserving people's means of participation and inclusion in society.
