我们使用2006年第二次全国残疾人调查的数据描述了中国的家庭收入与不同类型残疾(即医疗损害)的患病率负相关的程度。然后，我们计算不同类型家庭的残疾额外成本，并显示这些成本如何因城市和农村地区残疾的类型和严重程度而不同。最后，我们使用2007年至2009年具有全国代表性的残疾人小组数据来审查社会保障在多大程度上惠及城市和农村地区不同类型和严重程度的残疾人。我们的结论是，尽管残疾家庭的社会保障数额和覆盖面正在迅速增加，但仍然不足以抵消有残疾人的家庭和没有残疾人的家庭之间的收入差距，特别是当我们考虑到残疾的额外费用时。
We describe the degree to which household income is negatively associated with the prevalence of different types of disability (i.e., medical impairments) in China using data from the 2006 Second National Survey of Disabled Persons. We then calculate the extra costs of disability across different types of households and show how these costs differ by the type and severity of disability in both urban and rural areas. Finally, we use nationally representative panel data on persons with disabilities from 2007 to 2009 to examine the degree to which social security is reaching persons with different types and severity of disabilities in both urban and rural areas. We conclude that although the amount and coverage of social security for households with disabilities is increasing rapidly, it is still not enough to offset the income differential between households with and without disabled persons, especially when we account for the extra costs of disability.
