Families of children with disabilities: income poverty, material deprivation, and unpaid care in the UK

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Child disability and provision of unpaid care by parents may contribute to a family’s poverty status. In this paper, using data from the Family Resources Survey-2018/19, a sample of 5451 families with dependent children was analysed. Sub-samples were created based on the groups of interest: child disability vs no child disability within the family and unpaid care vs no unpaid care for children with disabilities. Logistic regression models show sociodemographic factors have similar effects on children’s material deprivation and after housing costs poverty across all groups. In contrast, having children with no disability has higher odds of after
housing costs poverty.
