By gathering data from different sources, it may be possible to estimate the French social budget of disability. In 1990, approximatively 126.9 million FF were devoted by the nation to its disabled population. One quarter of the amount is "in kind", for financing training centers, nursing homes for the disabled... The three remaining quarters are composed of "cash benefits" (disability allowances, work accident annuities,...). The approach makes it possible the assessment of disability in economic terms.
