As one gets old, his physical capability hinders him from performing at his best. His bones weaken which causes the muscles to contract and suffer. This is the result of loss of
vitamins and proteins which fuels the bones and muscles of the body to perform the task that is commanded to them by the brain. Sometimes, this is also caused by too much workload that the individual could no longer shoulder. Probably, this will not be a problem if his country has social security benefits for disabled. But most often than not, there are only few countries in the world that has an established social security system which caters to the needs of disabled individuals.
The 1944 Disabled Persons Act in United Kingdom offered various methodologies in helping disabled people become part of the productive labor force. But the Act did not pretty much address the need for a secured future for person with disabilities. This shows that employment for persons with disabilities still remains to be questionable.
To be fair to
individuals with disabilities, I think it is proper for a progressive nation to give priority to such individuals. It is not their fault that they are burdened by such limitation. For sure, given an opportunity, they would like to redeem themselves by making the most of their limited capabilities. This is the area where most nations are lacking. I think, if persons with disabilities were given a chance, the task of the entire community will be easier. After all, two minds are better than one. It will also induce fellowship among individuals which will totally erase the notion of discrimination which dates back since the feudal era.
