In the United Kingdom, more than 20% of the population live with a disability. Past evidence shows that being disabled is associated with functional limitations that often cause social exclusion and poverty. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the connection between disability and poverty. This paper examines whether households with disabled members face extra costs of living to attain the same standard of living as their peers without disabled members. The modelling framework is based on the standard of living approach which estimates the extra income required to close the gap between households with and without disabled members. We apply an ordered logit regression to data from the Family Resources Survey between 2013 and 2016 to analyse the relationship between standard of living, income, and disability, conditional on other explanatory variables. We find that households with disabled members face considerable extra costs that go beyond the transfer payment of the government. The average household with disabled members saw their weekly extra costs continually increase from £293 in 2013 to £326 in 2016 [2020 prices]. Therefore, the government needs to adjust welfare policies to address the problem of extra costs faced by households with disabled members.

“…Furthermore, the extra cost of disability may increase when disabled people join the labor market. Ipek (2020) estimates the additional economic cost of disability for households in Turkey using a standard of living approach and a household budget survey data. The results show that households with disabilities need at least 9.1% more income to reach the same standard of living as those without disabled individuals, and that the cost varies depending on the type and severity of disability.…”

Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries have ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability, necessitating adjustments in tax and benefit policies. However, the eventual outcome of these modifications remains uncertain. To evaluate possible changes, we conducted a comparative analysis of current instruments in CEE countries vis-a-vis Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Our research discovered that tax and benefit systems in both CEE and Scandinavian countries are built on the same foundational principles, yet differ significantly in their specific solutions and approaches. Notably, benefits systems in CEE countries are considerably more intricate and inclined toward means-tested benefits and specialized instruments dedicated solely to individuals with disabilities. We posit that changes arising from the convention’s implementation will streamline the benefits system, incorporating more generalized instruments with disability added as supplementary eligibility conditions or income parameters. The velocity of this transformation will be influenced by the pace of economic growth, as evidenced by the strong positive correlation between disability expenditure’s proportion in gross domestic product and the European Union countries’ level of economic development.

The study aims to form a conceptual model for researchers engaged in analyzing and further improving current employment policy of specific states concerning persons with special needs, based on a review, analysis and systematization of the main conclusions and trends in the literature. The article presents the results of studies of temporal changes in publications over time and by topic, identifies trends in the change of used keywords, and establishes trends in the distribution of articles in the studied areas, which allows describing a conceptual model that reflects the essence and forms the basis of disability employment policy. The conceptual model was the result of studying global trends in the formation of disability employment policy through a review of 1,284 publications obtained from the Scopus database from 1918 to 2021 and their analysis based on various methodological approaches of bibliometric analysis. The results first revealed an increase from 31 articles in 2005 to 101 articles in 2018. Second, we found that 68% of the authors are from the United States. The article also identifies that disability is presented as a global problem and lists the reasons for the philosophical shift in the field of disability employment. The authors substantiate a new paradigm of disability employment policy and explain the growth of publications after adopting the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Finally, the article points out that the role of leadership and participation of persons with disabilities is established in building an inclusive, accessible and sustainable world. Temporal changes in the used keywords of publications showed an expansion of topics related to disability employment policy. Trends in the distribution of publications in the studied areas have shown social sciences and medicine as the main subject areas of policy in the field of disability employment.
