The poverty rate for working-age people with disabilities is nearly two and a half times higher than that for people without disabilities. Disability and poverty may form a vicious circle, in which physical barriers and stigma of disability make it more difficult to get income, which in turn diminishes access to health care and other necessities for a healthy life.{{sfn|Yeo|2005}} In societies without state funded health and social services, living with a disability could require spending on medication and frequent health care visits, in-home personal assistance, and adaptive devices and clothing, along with the usual costs of living. The [[World report on disability]] indicates that half of all disabled people cannot afford health care, compared to a third of abled people.<ref>World Health Organization, ''World report on disability'', 2011.</ref> In countries without public services for adults with disabilities, their families may be impoverished.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://centrodiba.org|title=Centro DÍBÁ|access-date=May 10, 2022|archive-date=January 23, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150123232245/http://www.centrodiba.org/|url-status=live}}</ref>
