Abstract
Technology enhances human survival, but at a cost of increased prevalence of disability. This, together with the trend to later child-bearing, increases society's financial responsibility for disabled people. For rational planning for future requirements, we need registers based on geographically defined areas, enumerating, by year of birth, all individuals with each type of disability, defined by criteria which remain constant over time.
