This document discusses poverty rates among people with and without disabilities in Canada. It finds that people with disabilities, especially intellectual disabilities, have much higher rates of poverty than people without disabilities. They also have lower employment rates, are less likely to work full time/full year, have unmet needs for accommodations, and earn lower wages and have lower total income levels than people without disabilities. The document uses Canadian census and survey data to analyze differences in employment, earnings and income between those with and without disabilities.
