| dc.description.abstract | An impetus to conduct a research on this topic arose from a Radio Interview made with two PWDs - beggars, that struck my thought “I’m poor because I’m disabled – I’m disabled because I’m poor.” This research examines to what extent Ethiopia responded toward realizing the right to social security of PWDs in compliance with the commitments stemming from ratifying the CRPD. The researcher argues that though credit is due to the establishment of the pension scheme, since ninety-five% of PWDs are excluded from the contributory pension and health scheme due to unemployment, the country still lacks a targeted strategy and a law guaranteeing a non-contributory social assistance scheme against disability-related poverty. Neither the social transfers under the UPSNP/PSNP match the legally established non-contributory social assistance scheme to PWDs. therefore, Ethiopia lags behind realizing the minimum essential levels of the right to social security to PWDs. | en_US |
