abstract: 'The 2007-2008 financial crisis has affected the prospects for workers in

  a range of ways. In-work poverty represents just one, yet key feature of

  how prospects for workers have changed in recent times. In-work poverty

  disproportionately impacts on marginalised groups, such as the disabled.

  Current research reveals little about how disability and poverty

  intersect in the context of employment. To address this oversight, life

  history interviews were conducted with disabled people in in-work

  poverty. The findings were analysed using the social model of disability

  and the lens of intersectionality. The results highlight how government

  policies, employer practices and household finances impact on disabled

  workers'' lived experience of in-work poverty. The findings suggest that

  governments and employers can do more to reduce barriers to escaping

  in-work poverty for disabled workers.'
