Disability, Poverty, and Schooling in Developing Countries: Results from 14 Household Surveys
TL;DR: The authors analyzed the relationship between whether a young person has a disability, the poverty status of their household, and their school participation using 11 household surveys from nine developing countries and found that youth with disabilities are almost always substantially less likely to start school, and in some countries have lower transition rates resulting in lower schooling attainment.

Disability and poverty : a survey of World Bank poverty assessments and implications
Jeanine Braithwaite,Daniel Mont +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey the World Bank poverty assessment literature to date on the relationship between disability and poverty, and find that using standard assumptions about the distribution of household consumption among household members and the typical way that poverty lines are set in world Bank poverty assessments, this relationship may not appear to be as quantitatively significant as common sense and anecdotal evidence would suggest.

The Relevance of the Household Production Function and Its Implications for the Allocation of Time
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a critique of the household production function approach and its application to the allocation of time, arguing that many applications of the model, especially those making use of implicit "commodity prices," require that the household's technology exhibit constant returns and no joint production; otherwise, implicit commodity prices depend on the household preferences as well as on its technology and the prices of market goods.
