Abstract
In this article I use a sociological quantitative methodology to value the equity of the educational Spanish system with regard to students with deafness. I relate about the number of pupils with auditory difficulty in Spanish educational system, I compare Deaf population with population in general in two aspects: the time they needed to achieve their education and the degree they reached. Furthermore, I compare Spain with other European states. I approach the topic of Deaf people’s transition to the labor market, their rates of employment and their monthly income. I consider Deaf women's labor situation as well.
