This paper investigates the relationship between unpaid care, child poverty, and child disability in the UK. Using data from the Family Resources Survey 2018/19, the study analyzed 5451 families with dependent children, creating subsamples based on child disability and unpaid care. Logistic regression models revealed that sociodemographic factors similarly affected material deprivation and after-housing costs poverty across groups. However, families with children without disabilities had higher odds of after-housing costs poverty, while those providing unpaid care for children with disabilities had lower odds.
