Abstract
People with disabilities are more likely than individuals without disabilities to face higher levels of deprivation and multidimensional poverty, and those deprivations might be associated with the extra costs of living with a disability. However, there has not been an analysis of how multidimensional poverty measures are related to the extra costs of disability or whether these measures can be used as a proxy of the standard of living in the analysis of the extra costs of disability. This paper aims to analyse whether multidimensional poverty measures can be used to study the extra costs of disability and, based on the capability approach, how multidimensional poverty is related to the extra costs of disability. This paper discusses theoretical, technical, and methodological aspects to be considered when studying the relationship between extra costs and multidimensional poverty, and we used data from Chile and Nigeria to illustrate this relationship. We conclude that when analysing the extra costs of disability, multidimensional measures might be an option; however, it is necessary to clearly stablish the relationship among income, deprivation, and the extra costs of disability.
