Abstract
[The notion of disability is a universal one, given that as humans we all experience directly or indirectly some loss of function. How this loss of function is interpreted and managed will, however, differ across different countries, cultures and availability of resources. This has important implications for how we develop cross country comparable measures of disability. This chapter raises different factors that affect such measurements. These include the complexity of disability, the content and context of surveys, potential sources of error in surveys and how these can be managed based on a growing body of evidence testing disability questions in different social, cultural and geographic contexts.]
