Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities Revisited - Perspectives Reflected by the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 has disrupted the lives of people with disabilities during the pandemic. This, in addition to the ratification of the United Nation''s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in most of the countries, created a need for this book. Policies that mandate stay-at-home and lockdown orders had an unprecedented global impact on the social inclusion and well-being of people around the world, particularly people with disabilities. The book discusses this and examines whether developed and low-middle income countries have been offered social and digital inclusive policies to this important population.
