ANED Country report on Social Protection and Article 28

Abstract

[EN]This country report has been prepared as input for the synthesis report on Social Protection and Article 28 UNCRPD. The increase in inequality in Spain, due to the crisis and the loss of protective measures, can contribute to increase the distance between the included and the excluded. Since, in turn, poverty generates disability, increased inequality can not only worsen the situation of people with a diagnosis of disability or dependence, but also it can compromise the future of younger generations and creating new situations of exclusion, vulnerability and even disability and dependence.
