Disability in Ukraine

Ukrainian dance duo Oleksandr Ivanov and Ilona Slugovina in 2014

2.7 million people in Ukraine (6%[1]) were reported having a disability in 2014.[2] This number did not include the (reportedly) 1.5% of people with temporary disabilities.[2] In 2014, 35% of people aged 60–70 had some age-related disability. For people aged over 80 years, this number grew to 50%.[2]

Ukraine is notoriously "disability unfriendly".[2][3] For example, in the capital Kyiv only 4% of infrastructure is considered to be "disability friendly".[2]

In the 1990s unemployment rates for disabled people rose sharply in Ukraine (and other Eastern European countries) due to economic downfall.[4]

In 2021 Ukraine's national railway company Ukrzaliznytsia launched its first disabled-friendly trains with dedicated wheelchair space.[5]

Ukraine is one of the most successful countries of the Paralympic Games.[6][3]
