This study purposed to understand the dynamic interrelationships between sex and disability, social exclusion, and poverty of disabled women utilizing the second wave data of the Korea Welfare Panel Study in 2007. Through literature review, this study clarified the concept of social exclusion compared to the traditional concept of poverty from the perspective of disabled women. This study also selected five areas of social exclusion that disabled women might experience throughout their life cycle: education, employment, family, health, and social participation. Study results identified that rates of the social exclusion and poverty of disabled women are significantly higher than those of other comparative groups. That is, disabled women experience social exclusion and poverty more often than does any other socioeconomic group. Sex and disability are significant predictors of social exclusion. Further, three areas of social exclusion significantly increased the odds of poverty. Also, disability significantly increased the odds of poverty, and poverty significantly affected five areas of social exclusion. Conclusively, social exclusion and poverty are dynamically interrelated, affecting each other in the context of disabled women’s life cycle. This study suggested a few policy and practice implications to reduce the social exclusion and poverty of disabled women based on the findings.
