4. Models of disability are tools defining
impairment and ultimately, for providing a
basis upon which government and society can
devise strategies for meeting the needs of
disabled people.

6. Under this model, disability is defined by a
person’s inability to participate in work. It
also assesses the degree to which impairment
affects an individual’s productivity and the
economic consequences for the individual,
employer and the state.

7.  The economic Model is used primarily by
policy makers to assess distribution of
benefits to those who are unable to
participate fully in work.
 In recent years, however, the preoccupation
with productivity has conflicted with the
application of the medical model to classify
disability to counter fraudulent benefit
claims, leading to confusion and a lack of
co-ordination in disablement policy.

8.  The challenge facing the economic model is
how to justify and support, in purely
economic terms, a socially desirable policy of
increasing participation in employment.
 The private entrepreneurs refuse to provide
jobs for the disabled for the reason that their
production capacity is low.

9.  The employers pay disabled employees less
or have the losses met through subsidy.
 Difficulties arise in properly assessing the
correct level of subsidy; i.e. there may arise a
confusion whether to provide welfare
assistance based on the functional ability of
the disabled or based on their economic
conditions in maintaining themselves.

10.  Question is raised whether the social
contribution of the disabled could be
measured by their economic contributions;
i.e. this model did not specify the
rehabilitative measures in their jobs.

Preceptors,Madurai-9.

11.  This model finds it difficult to determine one’s
disability. Those who have lost their legs are
considered disabled and as such they are unable
to go to workplace and perform the job.
However in the present day technology
driven world, one could earn his livelihood by
performing his job from his home using the
internet and computer technology; but he cannot
involve himself fully in social activities.
For example, he may not be able to use
transport, participate in entertainment activities
and take care of his self.
