Benefits of accessibility
Benefits of accessibilityAccessibility helps people with disabilities join in education, work and social activities. The benefits go even further: families, groups and all of society gain from the increased independence, new ideas and more chances to take part in the economy that inclusion allows.
Key point
The benefits are not just social. Leaving out people with disabilities from jobs causes clear losses to the country’s total economic output. This means that inaccessibility has a big cost for the whole economy, not just for individuals.
