BACKGROUND

The disability statistics is very poor in Mongolia. Only biggest statistics is National Census of 2010. Community based rehabilitation program for the persons with disabilities register the persons with disabilities by the family and somon doctors using house-to-house method (Training in the Community for People with disabilities, WHO, 1989, Geneva). The disability is classified on the disease based (ICD 10). The loss of working ability is major criteria to describe the disability through the joint order of Ministry of Health and Ministry of Population Development and Social Protection. In this research the disability statistics (2005) conducted by Ts.Chuluunbaatar and Sh.Erdenetsetseg with financial support of AIFO have been compared with the National Census 2010 (National Statistics Office, 2011) in terms of the disability prevalence level, percentage of the disability growth, find out the reason of incorrect information regarding the disability data and contribute to have a concrete disability statistics. According to the survey, 3.9% of the total populations is persons with disabilities in the country and the prevalence level increased in Bayanhongor, Bulgan, Gobi-Altai, Dornogobi, Dornod, Dundgobi, Zavhan, Umnugobi, Suhbaatar, Selenge, Tuv, Uvs, Hentii, Darhan-Uul, Orhon, Gobisumber aimags and Ulaanbaatar city. Studying the growth of persons with disabilities in regions using statistics methods called “dynamic row” in five and one year, the speed of growth of state average is 36.3% in five years duration, which shows that 50.0 per cent in central region, 44.5 per cent in Ulaanbaatar city and 39.8 per cent eastern region, higher than the State average. There are several reasons that the number of persons with disabilities is less than global

statistics. For instance in Mongolia the main registration method is based on diseases. According to the disability definition the person who has disability type, but working is not registered as person with disability. The Disability Commission describes the person’s disability level on the basis of their diseases. When the person with disabilities reach to the age of pension they are unable to be described by the Disability Commission because they are over the working age and unable to receive pension from the State.

RESULTS

There are high prevalence of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and mental health problem among the general populations. Majority of these conditions appear with other

disability types. 66.5% of the persons with disabilities, who are living under poverty line, have chronic conditions. Number of vehicles increased in urban and rural area, high migration from rural area to urban area, high density in central area. Weak city planning, low light in the street, high number of unemployed people, and alcoholism is increased in the country. But the current collected statistics do not satisfy the basic needs of the country.

CONCLUSION

The research aims to describe the dynamic trends of growth and decrease of the disability and suggest idea to improve the disability statistics.
