Love Thy Neighbour? Social Attitudes Towards Persons With Disabilities
利用越南全国代表性调查数据，研究发现本地残疾率提高会增强对残疾人就业能力的认可，但会降低对其社会融入（如普通学校、婚姻、社区生活）的支持，表明接触增多可能引发反弹效应。
This paper examines whether exposure to persons with disabilities in the locality influences attitudes towards their social and economic inclusion. Using nationally representative household survey data from Vietnam and an instrumental variable strategy, we find that higher rates of disability in the local district increases perceptions of employers’ willingness to hire people with disabilities but also decreases support for the inclusion of children and persons with disabilities in regular schools, marriage and community living. The findings suggest that increased exposure can lead to more positive attitudes towards the capabilities of persons with disabilities but can lead to a backlash that reinforces social norms.
