According to Eurostat, almost a quarter of people with disabilities in the European Union (EU) are faced with financial difficulties.
For people with disabilities, it is more likely to get them out of disability.
Nevertheless, fewer people suffer financially in Luxembourg (8%), Germany (11%), the Netherlands (11.2%) or Finland (13.2%).
Against, in Greece (75.5%) and Bulgaria (52%), More than half of people with disabilities live in households who are difficult to get away with.
Work does not always remove people from poverty, regardless of whether they have disability or not, but usually reduces risk.
Nevertheless, jobs, schools, services and information are not always easily accessible to people with disabilities.
Important gap in employment
Only half of people with disabilities are used compared to three out of four people without disability. Meanwhile, almost 10% of them were at risk of poverty in 2024.
Among all types of inequalities in the labor market, such as gender, foreign origin or disability, the latter led to the largest gap in employment.
In 2024, the gap in employment between people with disabilities and without it amounted to 24 percentage points (AM).
The study published in the journal Education Economics showed that 19% of the gap of disability in the age group of 25-34 years in the EU can be attributed to the study between people with limited capabilities and without it.
If the coverage of the main expenses is already a problem, unexpected expenses, such as surgical intervention or significant repair of the house, can be even more difficult.
However, it is much more difficult to cope with the expected access to Lithuania and Bulgaria than in Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
Social benefits and benefits are of great importance.
Without them, almost 70% of Europeans with disabilities would be at risk of poverty in 2024.
However, even with social support, the level of poverty risk remains more than 30% in the Baltic and Croatia.
