In Belgium, for a disability to be covered by insurance, it must be recognized by the public federal services. In Belgium's region of Wallonia, disabled people were mostly women in 2018. Nonetheless, men still represented roughly 46 percent of the disabled population living in Wallonia.
In 2018, Belgian gender disparities were related to age. Indeed, most disabled people under 64 years old were men, whereas most disabled people aged over 64 years were women.
Disability is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. However, a consensus rests on its specific interaction between an individual and his environment.
