Mikrocensus 1976, 4. quarter: Physical Disabilities

The proposal for this special survey results on the one hand from the growing interest of social politics, welfare and medicine in social fringe groups. On the other hand it results from the fact that information on the number of handicapped people is currently only available for those who make use of services and are therefore registered (war victims, victims of occupational accidents, people who receive welfare benefit from the states, etc.) The competences for the assessment of handicapped people (for the population census) will probably not be exhausted due to the relatively small target group and the lack of space on the standardized census papers. Therefore, the Mikrocensus survey is the most suitable form of assessment. Within the scope of this special survey, visual handicaps, hearing impairment, mobility problems and other handicaps are assessed.

本次专项调查的立项依据，一方面源于社会政治、福利与医学领域对社会边缘群体的关注度与日俱增；另一方面则在于当前仅能统计获得服务并完成登记的残障人士数量，例如战争受害者、职业事故受害者、领取国家福利津贴的人群等。鉴于针对残障人士的人口普查评估工作，受目标群体规模相对较小，且标准化普查表单预留空间不足等因素限制，其覆盖能力恐难以充分发挥。因此，微型人口普查（Mikrocensus）是最为适配的评估形式。在本次专项调查范畴内，将对视力障碍、听力损伤、行动障碍及其他各类残障情况开展评估。
