In other words, while there are some PWDs who made a great achievement in business and life, a substantial number of PWDs have very low monetary income with low level of education.

The Institute of Developing Economies (IDE) and the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) jointly conducted a field survey of PWDs living in Manila, the Philippines, in 2008. Referring to lessons drawn from the survey, the authors discuss what data and indicators should be collected. Additional measurements are proposed to those given by a seminal paper, Rapley [2007]. The main point of the proposal is that some process oriented measures reflecting the Biwako Millennium Framework in addition to result based measures in line with the Millennium Development Goals. Our suggestions are to add indices in the following 5 areas; 1) Accessibility for PWDs 2) Disabled People s Organization 3) Education 4) Employment 5) Decision making participation.

This question is more critical in developing countries from the view point of poverty reduction of PWDs. This paper investigates economic activities of PWDs in the Philippines where disability-related legislation is relatively progressive among developing countries. A field survey was conducted in cooperation with Disability People's Organizations (DPOs) with a tailor-made questionnaire in four representative cities in Metro Manila in August 2008. The level of income and education of PWDs and determinants of them are examined with the Mincer regression. Main conclusions of this study are: (1) both the incidence and depth of poverty are greater among sample PWDs than that of total population in Metro Manila; (2) strong association between education and income and solid heredity of low level of education to a PWD from her/his father; (3) female PWDs are likely to be educated less than male PWDs after taking the endogeneity between income and education into account and controlling individual, parents' and environmental characteristics.
