#disability #oldage
Global population aging is the key driver in the increase of numbers of persons living with disability. However, not all older persons live with a disability, and there is significant diversity in the extent of functional limitations experienced by older persons with disability.
Given how closely old age and disability are intertwined, social protection systems need to be adaptive and responsive. This webinar sought to bring greater clarity to the discussion by setting out the key issues at stake for building social protection systems that address disability in old age.
The webinar provided participants with:
The trends associated with aging and disability and the need for social protection.
An overview on the range of social protection programs used to support older persons with disability (a focus on both cash transfers and care and support)
Experiences from the Asia Pacific region: a snapshot of social protection programs for older persons with disability.
Lessons learnt in the design and implementation of cash transfers.
