Hi,
Its an old AFB stastic and I heard it includes those with other challenges, 
like cognitive impairment.
For other western countries, goole will help.
Something like the Canadian National institute for the blind may help.
AFB may also have stats for other countries.

This can be on the NABS list. In order to get a better answer, though,
you must put it on the NFB talk list.
