We focus not only on “people with disability (PwD)” in its narrow sense, but also on those stuck between different systems, including people with long standing health problems and people with facial disfigurement, and study social barriers in their way. In addition to theoretical analysis using game theory and disability studies, we conducted statistical surveys of PwD in cooperation with disability groups and local government, of firms, of patients with long standing health problems. We also conducted statistical survey in foreign countries such as Nepal and Philippines.
