Abstract

Eliminating poverty is the ultimate aim of the international development community. Persons with disability are overrepresented among those living in poverty, and yet have typically been left outside the focus of major development initiatives. One of the barriers may have been the scarcity of evidence about the relationship between disability and economic development.
