[community] Disability Inclusive COVID-`9 Recovery Policy

[John W (personal)]

Hi friends, I have an opportunity to craft a short briefing note for the
Ontario governments recovery planning table as it relates to social
assistance programs -- that is, how COVID recovery planning should take
into account the interests and rights of people with disabilities needing
government support.

I am using the recent UN Policy Brief
<https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/sg_policy_brief_on_persons_with_disabilities_final.pdf>
as the foundation but I really could use some rapid assistance from the
community to develop a few persuasive statistics. Can anyone point me to
online statistics for COVID-19 pandemic impacts on

     - job losses,  reduced work time/ reduced earned income for Ontarians
(or Canadians) with disabilities
     - rates of recovery in employment, hours of work, and/or incomes for
PWD compared to the rest of the population, as economic activity grows in
the later-pandemic stages  (is the recovery fair?)
    - any demographic profiles of PWD who are most marginalized by the
pandemic and/or recovery, to illustrate intersectional experiences related
to ethnicity, racialization, gender, age, etc.

I am hoping to locate this type of data for drafting *immediate
recommendations so I'm hoping to get your input as sooon as you can manage.*

Thanks!
