Amartya Sen affirms that <strong>in</strong> the United K<strong>in</strong>gdom, 23.1% of disabled people<br />
are poor compared to an overall <strong>in</strong>dex <strong>in</strong> the country of 17.9%. However,<br />
when the additional expenses associated with hav<strong>in</strong>g a disability are considered,<br />
the poverty <strong>in</strong>dex for people with a disability shoots up to 47.4%.<br />
In the follow<strong>in</strong>g table, we see the needs and demands of the population without<br />
disabilities, and the specific needs that people with disabilities require<br />
<strong>in</strong> order to live <strong>in</strong> equal conditions as others and satisfy the same needs. Normally,<br />
governments should respond to these needs through public policies.<br />
