“…It is comparatively an underdeveloped and technologically backward country which has a shortage of health workers with adequate qualification and skills due to an unequal distribution in every government and non-government sector [37]. It is a country where poverty is prevalent; nearly half of the country's populace lives below the poverty line [38]. The problems such as provision of adequate health service, education, social security service, and employment are seen regularly, besides the incidence of frequent natural disasters, particularly flood and cyclone.…”

Generally, people with disabilities (PWDs) experience barriers of different kinds than the people without disabilities, e.g. lower access to healthcare, education, employment, or economic participation, which are barriers to form an inclusive society. Access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) has paramount significance to remove these barriers. This study statistically investigates the factors that are significant in the acceptance process of ICT by the disabled and the positive change in the quality of their daily lives. We used exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a broadly used technique, to identify the factors responsible in the development process. This is mainly a sample-based study where the participants complete a well-defined questionnaire and assess the outcomes of ICT acceptance by PWDs, considering the change in the quality of their lives. A structural equation modeling is conducted to justify the total relationship based on the variables mainly involved. The findings show that the acceptance of ICT by PWDs was at moderate level, and there is a positive correlation between acceptance of ICT and quality improvement in the lives of PWDs. These results will help to improve individual lives of PWDs, social as well as national development, and to provide positive psychological intervention to promote the acceptance of ICT by PWDs.

Existing studies on socio-economic differentiation in Vietnam focus on the inequality between the ethnic majority and minorities while neglecting the disparities among ethnic minorities. Using a framework to analyse marginalisation at different scales, we identified through an extensive literature review the diverse ways in which ethnic groups develop strategies to transform or maintain their marginality. These strategies depend on, at the same time influence, inequalities that manifest in processes of social differentiations and power relations. Elucidating these processes of inequalities enables us to promote livelihood opportunities that support the diverse development pathways of different ethnic groups, thus increasing the relevance of development interventions.
