The article describes the sources of statistical data on persons with disabilities and their households in Poland and in the European Union. The review showed that the problem of disability is rarely the main purpose of statistical surveys. Data on persons with disabilities is achieved by the way of research aimed at implementing other purposes. This results in reducing the possibility of in-depth analysis of the problem of disability. The study also indicated the lack of a definition of disability. This hinders the use of statistical databases. Moreover, this raises problems for comparative analysis, especially on an international scale, and may even doubt the sensibility of their conducting. (original abstract)
