In Viet Nam; an estimated 7.8% of the total population (~8 million people) are living with some forms of disability. This is likely an underestimation; with WHO and World Bank estimates closer to 15%. Additionally; it’s estimated that more than 46% of people over the age of 60 experience moderate to severe disability – with Viet Nam being one of the most rapidly aging populations in the world; the number of people with a disability will grow.Although some disability data is collected through the National Household Survey and; more recently the World Bank Enterprise survey; there is still little quantitative or qualitative information collected at the private sector level that examines disability inclusion in the private sector; particularly through the lens of people with disabilities as leaders; employees; entrepreneurs; consumers of products and services; or as members in communities in which companies operate; nor are up-to-date resources on the business case for inclusion readily available. Addressing the lack of data on disability inclusion is an essential first step for IFC in designing inclusive programs and practices.Given the growing importance of and link between inclusion and resilient firms and economies; IFC is seeking a research firm to conduct a scoping on disability inclusion of the private sector in Viet Nam; to build the business case for disability inclusion in the private sector and to better understand the opportunities for IFC as a development finance institution to create impact.
