In 2019, according to a recent publication released by INSEE (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies), 5.95 million of the French population between the ages of 15 and 64 years old had a disability. This number has experienced some fluctuations since 2016, but has increased overall. Indeed, it rose by about 0.18 million between 2016 and 2017, and, despite a slight decrease the following year, by 2019 the number of people with disabilities had almost returned to its 2017 value.
