In order to eradicate poverty, China has carried out a series of welfare reforms and employment interventions for people with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to examine the levels of multidimensional poverty of persons with disabilities aged 16\u201359 in China and the poverty reduction effect of employment services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Alkire-Foster (AF) method is applied to measure and decompose the multidimensional poverty index (MPI) of people with disabilities in this study. In order to make the results more robust, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and the combination of propensity score matching and difference-in-differences (PSM-DID) are used to study the effect of employment services on multidimensional poverty of the disabled.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results show that among persons with disabilities aged 16\u201359, about 90% are deprived in at least one dimension, and about 30% are in a state of severe multidimensional poverty until 2019. The contributions of deprivation in the dimensions of education and social participation are remarkably higher than dimensions of economy, health and insurance. In addition, employment services have a significant improvement effect on multidimensional poverty, which is reflected not only in the economic dimension, but also in the dimensions of education, insurance and social participation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>People with disabilities are generally in multidimensional poverty in China, and their abilities in learning and social integration are seriously inadequate. Employment services have played a great role in improving poverty, but the improvement has been different in different dimensions and different disability categories. These findings provide important evidence for recognizing multidimensional poverty of persons with disabilities and the poverty reduction effect of employment services, which will help to formulate more reasonable public policies to eradicate poverty.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2023.1093978","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,10]],"date-time":"2023-02-10T06:51:29Z","timestamp":1676011889000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Multidimensional poverty of persons with disabilities in China: An analysis of poverty reduction effect of employment services"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiamin","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","unstructured":"World Report on Disability2011"},{"key":"B2","unstructured":"Disability Profile2010"},{"key":"B3","unstructured":"Speech at the Symposium on Fighting Targeted Poverty Alleviation2018"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"940","DOI":"10.3109\/09638288.2013.825333","article-title":"Disability prevalence among adults: estimates for 54 countries and progress toward a global estimate","volume":"36","author":"Mitra","year":"2014","journal-title":"Disabil Rehabil."},{"key":"B5","first-page":"88","volume-title":"Development as Freedom","author":"Sen","year":"1999"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.worlddev.2012.05.024","article-title":"Disability and poverty in developing countries: a multidimensional study","volume":"41","author":"Mitra","year":"2013","journal-title":"World Dev."},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2018.05.033","article-title":"Disability as deprivation of capabilities: estimation using a large-scale survey in Morocco and Tunisia and an instrumental variable approach","volume":"211","author":"Trani","year":"2018","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med."},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"398","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dhjo.2017.12.007","article-title":"The reality of disability: multidimensional poverty of people with disability and their families in Latin America","volume":"11","author":"Pinilla-Roncancio","year":"2018","journal-title":"Disabil Health J."},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3233\/JVR-180950","article-title":"How does employment influence health outcomes?
