United Nation (UN). 2006 Unit of measuring: Proportion (population in thousands) Formula: Pdr = PdP ×1000 Formula explained: Information can be calculated as a global number of number of women and/or men with any disability and by disability. The total disability rate results of dividing the total number of persons with any disability among the total population and multiplying all by 1.000. For example, to calculate the women with seeing disabilities rate, we need to divide the total number of women with seeing disability into the total number of women and to multiply all by 1.000. In the formula: 1) Pdr=Disability rate, Pd=Population (both sexes) with any disability, P=Total population (both sexes); 2) EG: Wsr=Women with seeing disability rate, Pfs=Total of women with seeing disability, Pf=Total population of women (with any and non disability).
