Census on handicapped
NZPA-AP Peking China will conduct a national census next year to determine how many of its 1.03 billion people are physically handicapped, the official Xinhua news agehcy has reported. The agency quoted Li Zheng, deputy director-in-chief of the China Welfare Fund for the Handicapped, as saying the results should be known by the end of 1986 and final tabulations available by June, 1987. The fund now estimates that there are 20 million disabled persons in China, not counting the blind and deaf mutes. But there has never been a census of the handicapped.
