Based on information from the 2000 census in Brazil, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics [IBGE] suggests that 14.5% of the total population is disabled. Disability is defined as limitations on seeing; hearing; or getting around, because of an impact on physical, mental or locomotor abilities and skills. The percentage translates into a total number of 24.6 million disabled individuals in Brazil. Of that number, 16.6 million are visually disabled. But just under 150,000 of the visually disabled are blind. Hearing disabilities claim 5.7 million. But just under 170,000 of the hearing disabled are deaf. And of the total disabled population, 9 million are working, and therefore included within the total Brazilian workforce of 65.6 million workers 10 years of age and older. This information is based on the statistics available at the following site: http://www.ibge.gov.br/english/presidencia/noticias/noticia_visualiza.php?id_noticia=438&id_pagina=1.
