Included Podcast: The Economic Cost of Ableism and Racism

Printer-friendly version

Nanette Goodman researches economic outcomes of people with disabilities, and she recently examined this issue through the lens of intersectionality. She shares her staggering findings in this podcast episode: people with disabilities are twice as likely than those without to live in poverty, and this proportion increases substantially for disabled people of colour. Nanette expertly guides the hosts through her data to expose the inequities and injustices facing multiply-marginalized people with disabilities.
