1.Expected impacts (maximum 500 words).

This research will allow for a public policy discussion on possible intervention alternatives that help reduce the inequalities that affect the population with disabilities.

Particularly, to the elderly population with disabilities and in relation to the general aging process of the population, which is associated with an increase in chronic and degenerative diseases.

The starting point for carrying out this discussion, framed from the life course approach, is that the research will allow us to account for a complex process of changes in the life trajectories of different people and groups, derived from the social context and individual of the pandemic in Bogotá.

From this perspective we will be able to understand the way in which past and present shape the life of the population, and how the life course process defines conditions of well-being.

This identification will shed light on which interventions can be most effective in reducing poverty for this group and generating inclusive development.

The processes of social and economic reconstruction cannot exclude the population with disabilities, which is highly vulnerable.

It has been recognized that compliance with the 2030 Agenda is not achieved without the adequate inclusion of the population with disabilities.

Recognizing that the Covid-19 pandemic has been a challenge for different states and that one of the greatest consequences is the increase in poverty levels in general.

It is important to be able to establish a roadmap that allows National and District governments to propose poverty reduction actions, with a perspective of inclusion of the population with disabilities and recognizing the unique needs of this population group.

For these reasons, the results of this study will allow us to recognize to what extent this population has been included and what the opportunities would be in the future.
