Class, Race and Gender Relations in the Constitution of Intellectual Disability

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between intellectual disability and class, race and gender. For this purpose, we used data from the Brazilian demographic census (IBGE, 2010), organized into three categories: a) people without disabilities; b) people with other disabilities; and c) people with intellectual disabilities. The most expressive result pointed out that there is a close relationship between income levels and the proximity the curves of the three categories showed. The higher the income level, the closer the curves are, demonstrating how decisive the impact of race and gender is on the living conditions of people with intellectual disability.
