Did you know that accessing data on people with disabilities at the EU level has become more convenient?
Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, has recently unveiled a user-friendly disability topic page and database, providing a centralized platform for all comparable EU data related to individuals with disabilities.
Serving as a gateway to EU-level statistics, the database facilitates comparisons between different Member States, covering key areas such as:
-Prevalence of disability
-Income and living conditions
-Social protection
-Access to education and training
-Access to health and care services
This marks a significant milestone, making it much simpler for stakeholders to access the necessary data for tracking the progress of people with disabilities.
For more information, explore the enhanced accessibility to EU-level data on persons with disabilities at the European Disability Forum website.
