Problems of rural disabled people

The total number of disabled people in China is 82.96 million, of which the urban disabled population is 20,765,438+million, accounting for 25% of the national disabled population. There are 62.25 million disabled people in rural areas, accounting for 75%. It can be seen that rural disabled people are the main group of disabled people, and also the most difficult and vulnerable group. A sample survey of 65,438+0,000 disabled people in rural areas of a central province in Zheng Yiping (2007) found that the living conditions of disabled people in rural areas have reached a worrying level, with poor housing conditions, low quality of life, lack of rehabilitation institutions and surprisingly low education level. 93% of the disabled people have a junior high school education, among whom 33% are illiterate. Many people have never heard of special education schools, let alone organizations like the Disabled Persons' Federation. 1000 people, only 19 people have received vocational training, and most of them have not received training. The lack of all kinds of training is another important reason why it is difficult for rural disabled people to improve their quality and employment. Let's look at the occupational structure of disabled people in rural areas. 1000 questionnaires, 762 chose the answer, of which 342 were "planted", accounting for 45%; There are 1 10 people who choose "family farming", the proportion of "working" and "doing business" is less, and there are 2 people in the blind massage industry. In addition, 126 people chose other occupations, accounting for 16.5%. Other occupations include fortune-telling, mountain-watching, janitor, rag collector, beggar, shoe repair and so on. It can be seen that rural disabled people are mostly engaged in traditional low-income occupations. A considerable number of rural disabled people can only be left to fend for themselves. "Poverty" and "disability" are intertwined, the problem of "old" vulnerable groups has not been solved, and the problem of "new" vulnerable groups has emerged constantly. Some patients disabled by accidents, diseases and disasters could have recovered through normal treatment and rehabilitation training, but they were disabled because they could not get timely treatment or had no money, further "expanding" the ranks of disabled people. The traditional and backward concept of childbearing makes some disabled people suffer from hereditary mental disability, visual disability, leprosy deformity and mental retardation. I would rather have my offspring disabled than "peerless". Therefore, there are successors for the disabled.

Situation of urban disabled people

The urban disabled population accounts for 1/4 of the total disabled population in China. How are their survival and development? Let's look at an example first. Ping Yali was the first person from China to raise the five-star red flag at the Olympic Games. 1In June, 1984, he won the jumping gold medal at the Third World Paralympics held in the United States, achieving a "zero breakthrough" in the medals of the Paralympic Games in China, one month earlier than Xu Haifeng won the gold medal. Many people in Xu Haifeng know about it, but few people know about Pingyali. For the Olympic champion, "as long as you get the gold medal, you will have a house, tickets and cars." Bonuses are as high as hundreds of thousands and millions, and luxury cars, villas and advertising endorsements can be described as rolling in financial resources. For the Paralympic champion, these are out of reach. At that time, Ping Yali only got 300 yuan, which was the prize money won by the Olympic champion 1/20. Later, because the Beijing rubber factory where she worked closed down, she became a laid-off worker. I haven't even settled my son's tuition. He almost sang in the street and even considered selling the gold medal. Later, with the help of others, he founded his own massage shop for the blind.

Therefore, the best way to help the disabled is to provide them with suitable jobs within their capabilities. Let them live a happy life by their own labor, which is the greatest and best help for them. Many employers are biased against the disabled, thinking that the disabled have a heavy burden and little work potential, which is the burden of the unit. This is very wrong. It is true that some jobs are not suitable for disabled people, but there are many jobs that disabled people can do. Even because of their strong self-motivation, they can do better than normal people. I believe that there are a lot of such jobs in many units.

It is necessary to change the prejudice against the disabled, mobilize and educate all suitable work units, provide suitable jobs, help the disabled find jobs, and let them realize their life value to the maximum. This is not only the earnest expectation of every disabled friend, but also an indispensable action to build a harmonious society.

In addition, if you spend money indiscriminately, give them support. When you see disabled people at ordinary times, take the initiative to help them, and don't look at them differently. I hope you can smile more and don't avoid them face to face. You have to think that everyone is human and has difficulties.
