作者使用1996年至1999年收入和计划参与调查的纵向数据来估计有残疾和无残疾的工作年龄人群中短期和长期贫困的普遍性。根据所使用的残疾衡量标准，残疾人的年贫困率比非残疾人高出2至5倍。残疾人的相对长期贫困率远远高于相对短期贫困率。1997年，根据年度贫困衡量标准，残疾人占贫困人口的47%，根据长期衡量标准，残疾人占贫困人口的65%。关于贫穷问题的文献很少注意到残疾问题，原因可能是大多数统计数据是基于短期措施，这部分掩盖了长期贫穷与长期残疾之间的密切关系，以及对残疾与工作能力之间关系的过时看法。
The authors use longitudinal data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation spanning 1996 to 1999 to estimate the prevalence of short- and long-term poverty among working-age people with and without disabilities. Depending on the disability measure used, annual poverty rates are 2 to 5 times higher among people with disabilities compared to those without disabilities. The relative long-term poverty rates among those with disabilities are much higher than the relative short-term poverty rates. People with disabilities represented 47% of those in poverty in 1997 according to an annual measure of poverty and 65% of those in poverty according to a long-term measure. The reasons that disability receives little attention in the poverty literature may be that most statistics are based on short-term measures, which partially mask the strong relationship between long-term poverty and long-term disability, and outdated perceptions of the relationship between disability and the ability to work.
