- Authors
PALOVIČOVÁ, Zuzana
- Abstract
This study evaluates the concept of disability and discusses the contribution of the Sen's capability approach to social policy, making on this example of disability policy. It introduces the traditional understanding of disability as an problem constrained exclusively to the field of medicine and the more recent interpretations of disability as a social construct. Departing from these approaches, this study then critically reappraises the concept of disability through the concepts of capability and social functioning. The study argues that disability indicators based on the capabilities and social functioning allow for new perspective in social policy making.
