Disability is an important issue for every country. In this thesis, the status of disability in Myanmar is studied with the aims to study the types of disabled persons by urban, rural, states and regions, and the Disability-Free Life Expectancy (DFLE) of people in Myanmar. Based on the findings, the male disabled population is higher than the female disabled population, for the younger age-group. But the female disabled population is greater than the male disabled population for the elderly age-group. When the disabled people by sex in urban and rural areas are compared, both male disabled population and female disabled population in urban areas are less than those in rural areas. Furthermore, the disabled persons in seeing, walking, remembering, and hearing can be found in both urban and rural areas. Besides, it is observed that people with mild level of disability in all age-groups, in all states and regions, in both urban and rural areas, and literate people with mild level of disability are more than people with other levels of disabilities. Generally, when the percentages of life-spent disability-free of males and females are analyzed, it is observed that females in all age-groups are expected to be likely to be more disabled than males in all age-groups because the percentages of life-spent disability-free of males are more than the percentages of life-spent disabilityfree of females. 2021-01-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/8163
