DISABILITY-INCLUSIVESOCIAL PROTECTION - TECHNICAL BRIEF

This brief presents recent evidence on social protection for persons with disabilities and suggests ways to increase coverage and provide them with equal opportunities to enter and remain in the labour market. It also aims to ensure that families of children with disabilities have minimum income security. The brief draws heavily on the guidance developed by UNICEF, ILO, and the UN Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNPRPD). The text does not cover health or public health interventions, education, or employment programmes, which are part of the wider social protection floor.
