• Systems of social protection are crucial in addressing the unique needs of people with disabilities in terms of income security, social health protection, and social inclusion. The provision of income support to people with disabilities and their families through disability benefits is one of the components of social protection systems that specifically addresses needs related to disabilities. Both contributory plans (disability pensions) and non-contributory disability benefits fall under this category.
• Schemes and programs that aid in the (re-)integration of people with disabilities into the labor force and make it easier for them to participate in employment also play a crucial part in fostering independent living and financial security.
