According to the Ministry of Health and Social Development, there are about 14.5 million disabled in Russia, i.e. one tenth of the country’s population. This means that problems of people with disabilities concern every fourth Russian family. Disabled are entitled for an allowance not exceeding 2000 roubles (US$ 80). Eighty five percent of disabled people in Russia are not employed, while about 45 percent of them are people of working age willing to work and provide for themselves. What can be done to help these people?
