dc.description.abstractChildren with disabilities experience marginalization and exclusion, leading to widespread violations of their right to education. In this study, we examine how vulnerable households with a child or parent/guardian with a disability transition out of critical vulnerability in comparison to others. Secondly, we examine disability as a determinant of school enrollment and absenteeism in these households. The assessment was made using panel data sourced from 17,848 moderately and critically vulnerable households in Uganda. We discovered that households with a child or children living with a disability were less likely to register any improvement from vulnerability, and the children were less likely to be enrolled in school and more likely to be absent from school. We conclude that disability compounds vulnerability in already vulnerable households, derails the realization of a child’s right to education, and affects household efforts to come out of vulnerability.en_US
