ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to identify spatial patterns that reveal the concentration of people with disabilities in areas with high levels of poverty and limited care services. Through an analysis of local spatial association indicators (LISA), geographical inequalities between municipalities in Mexico are described. The results indicate that the distribution of poverty and the availability of care services for people with disabilities are particularly unfavorable in the most vulnerable regions. In areas with higher levels of poverty, people tend to have more limited access to care services. Making this problem visible is essential for designing public policies that strengthen care work, with the aim of reducing inequalities and the social and economic backwardness faced by people with disabilities.
