Background of the Survey

With the April 1, 2024 enforcement of the "Law for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities," government agencies and private businesses will be obliged to provide reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities, and with the revision of this law, there is a social demand to ensure "web accessibility" on websites so that everyone can access information equally regardless of age or physical condition.

UniWeb" is currently being used by more than 500 sites, and many companies are beginning to take web accessibility initiatives in earnest.

In our survey of 215 people with disabilities (conducted in 2024), the most common response to a question about how they cope with difficulties in browsing websites was "not doing anything in particular (putting up with it)," revealing that many people experience difficulties when using websites on a daily basis.

We analyzed the data from the UniWeb to find out which functions are used the most, and although this is data from a private company, we hope that by publishing the results of this survey, we can help people understand what kind of support users are looking for when accessing the Internet.
