| Annotation | It is well known that many disabled people are out of work and living in poverty. However, little is understood about the process of becoming disabled: who is most at risk, how it affects income, and the impact on the rest of the family. These findings are based on "Being and becoming: social exclusion and the onset of disability" by Tania Burchardt, and published as CASEpaper report 21 (CASE, London School of Economics), which can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.lse.ac.uk/case. Her study seeks to unpick the relationship between the onset of disability and social exclusion for people of working age. (RH). |
