Liveable disabilities: Life courses and opportunity structures across time (DISLIFE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2021,

In Europe today disabled people comprise some 65 million (10%). Yet they are marginalized in society and research, and little is known on how disabilities become liveable. This project challenges this bias by proposing to investigate ‘liveable disabilities’ as a function of disability and opportunity structures across time. It analyses four life course dimensions: disabled people’s (1) health and ...
