Abstract

Inclusion-based health and economic strategies are strategic approaches that ensure the full participation of people with disabilities in sustainable development, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 8, which advocates for decent work and economic growth, and SDGs No. 10, which focuses on reducing inequalities. Key challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in accessing healthcare and economic opportunities include discrimination, structural barriers, and a lack of supportive policies. Strengthening the role of people with disabilities can be achieved through holistic strategies, such as providing universal access to adaptive technologies, developing market-driven skill training programs, and implementing affirmative policies oriented toward inclusivity. This study also explores the contribution of the private sectors and civil society in creating an inclusive ecosystem that fosters equality. Through cross-sectoral analysis, it highlights that investments in inclusive healthcare programs and creative economies not only enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities but also contribute to overall economic growth. Thus, inclusion-based approaches are pivotal to ensuring sustainable development involves all layers of society equally, leaving no one behind.
