Título: European comparative data on Europe 2020 and persons with disabilities
Resumen:The EU policy context encompasses the Europe 2020 Strategy (Europe 2020), which the European Commission uses as a framework to monitor the situation each year. To this end, Eurostat has created quantitative indicators to monitor progress towards the targets, notably in the areas of employment, poverty and social exclusion and education. Consequently, it is important to assess the situation of persons with disabilities in relation to the Europe 2020 headline targets on employment, poverty and education, using EU comparative data. In this report, this set of indicators has been extended to include health issues. The quantitative indicators should identify any gap between persons with and without disabilities and reveal any convergence or divergence in relation to the targets. An increasing gap or divergence will signal the need for new initiatives. Under the Europe 2020 strategy, the joint assessment framework (JAF) plays an important role in the development of quantitative indicators. In this respect, the work of the committees involved (the Employment, Social Protection, Health and Education Committees) provides early signals on indicators for monitoring and analysis. At this end, we collect and analyse data to understand and illustrate the situation of people with disabilities in Europe. This statistical analysis could be used as an instrument to monitor the effectiveness of national and European policies, assess the situation of persons with and without disabilities and identify areas where the gap between persons with and without disabilities is decreasing (or increasing).
