Diżabilità u mard kroniku
Diżabilità jew marda kronika hija definita b'mod wiesa' bħala kundizzjoni ta' saħħa kontinwa li tillimita l-attivitajiet ta' kuljum ta' persuna jew il-kapaċità tagħha li tinteraġixxi mad-dinja ta' madwarha fuq bażi ugwali ma' oħrajn. Hekk kif il-popolazzjoni tal-UE qed tixjieħ, l-għadd ta' dawk li jgħixu b'diżabilità jew kundizzjonijiet ta' saħħa kroniċi qed jiżdied. Għall-ħafna Ewropej b'diżabilità jew mard kroniku, hemm ħafna ostakli li jwaqqfuhom milli jipparteċipaw bis-sħiħ fil-ħajja ta' kuljum, u l-aċċess għas-suq tax-xogħol jibqa' wieħed mill-isfidi ewlenin. Il-promozzjoni tal-inklużjoni attiva u d-drittijiet tal-persuni b'diżabilità jew mard kroniku fis-soċjetà hija prijorità għall-aġenda tal-UE.

This background paper looks at the EU policy context regarding deinstitutionalisation for people with long-term care needs, analyses trends and outlines strategies supporting independent living.Respondents with disabilities hit harder by unmet medical needs
Eurofound’s 2024 e-survey shows that people with disabilities in Europe are more than twice as likely as others to face unmet medical needs, with 40% reporting barriers in accessing healthcare. Financial situation, age, employment status and limited transport, especially in rural areas, are among the main reasons, underscoring persistent inequalities despite EU commitments to equal treatment.Abbażi tad-dejta mill-Istħarriġ Ewropew dwar il-Kwalità tal-Ħajja (EQLS) u l-Istħarriġ Ewropew dwar il-Kundizzjonijiet tax-Xogħol (EWCS), flimkien ma' riċerka oħra, il-Eurofound tistudja l-inugwaljanzi u l-isfidi li jiffaċċjaw il-persuni b'diżabilità u l-approċċi ta' politika li jistgħu jiġu esplorati.
Id-dejta elettroniku Living and Working in the EU titfa' dawl fuq is-sitwazzjoni tal-persuni b'diżabilità matul il-pandemija, billi tqabbel is-sitwazzjoni tagħhom fir-rigward tal-aċċess għall-kura tas-saħħa, il-benesseri mentali, is-sitwazzjoni finanzjarja u l-ottimiżmu dwar il-futur.

Fit-3 ta' Marzu 2021, il-Kummissjoni Ewropea ppreżentat l-Istrateġija tagħha għad-Drittijiet tal-Persuni b'Diżabilità 2021–2030. Filwaqt li tibni fuq l-istrateġija preċedenti ta' 10 snin 2010-2020, għandha l-għan li tiżgura li l-persuni b'diżabilità jkunu jistgħu jipparteċipaw bis-sħiħ fis-soċjetà fuq bażi ugwali ma' oħrajn. Filwaqt li kien hemm progress f'dawn l-aħħar għexieren ta' snin fl-aċċess għall-kura tas-saħħa, l-edukazzjoni, l-impjiegi, l-attivitajiet ta' rikreazzjoni u l-parteċipazzjoni fil-ħajja politika, għad fadal ħafna xi jsir biex jitneħħew l-ostakli. Hija tistabbilixxi inizjattivi ewlenin taħt tliet temi ewlenin: id-drittijiet tal-UE; l-għajxien indipendenti u l-awtonomija in-nondiskriminazzjoni u l-opportunitajiet indaqs. Bħala inizjattiva ewlenija fl-2022, il-Kummissjoni ppreżentat pakkett biex ittejjeb l-eżiti tas-suq tax-xogħol tal-persuni b'diżabilità. U fl-2024, intlaħaq ftehim politiku dwar il-proposta tal-Kummissjoni għal Direttiva li tistabbilixxi l-Karta Ewropea tad-Diżabilità u l-Karta Ewropea tal-Parkeġġ għal persuni b'diżabilità.
L-istrateġija dwar id-diżabilità tikkontribwixxi għall-Pjan ta' Azzjoni tal-Pilastru Ewropew tad-Drittijiet Soċjali , ippreżentat mill-Kummissjoni fl-4 ta' Marzu 2021. Il-Pilastru, ipproklamat formalment mill-istituzzjonijiet tal-UE f'Novembru 2017, jirrifletti impenn konġunt biex jiġi pprovdut ambjent tax-xogħol b'saħħtu, sikur u adattat tajjeb għall-ħaddiema fl-UE. Hija tenfasizza d-dritt għal trattament ugwali u opportunitajiet fir-rigward tal-impjiegi, il-protezzjoni soċjali, l-edukazzjoni, u l-aċċess għall-prodotti u s-servizzi disponibbli għall-pubbliku, irrispettivament mid-diżabilità.
L-istrateġija ta' 10 snin tipprovdi l-qafas biex tappoġġa azzjonijiet fil-livell tal-UE u tal-Istati Membri biex tiġi implimentata l-Konvenzjoni tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti dwar id-Drittijiet ta' Persuni b'Diżabilità (UNCRPD), adottata min-NU fl-2006.

People with disabilities and the COVID-19 pandemic: Findings from the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey
A new European Disability Strategy was launched in 2021 with the aim of intensifying progress on ensuring the full participation of people with disabilities in society. The increase of EU policy focus on people with disabilities is timely: the COVID-19 pandemic magnified the challenges they faced in many spheres of their lives.
This policy brief explores the situation of Europeans with disabilities during the pandemic. Using data from the third round of the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey, conducted in February–March 2021, it compares the situation of respondents with and without disabilities in four areas: access to healthcare, mental well-being, financial situation and optimism about the future. The analyses show that on all indicators the situation of people with disabilities was significantly worse.

Disability and labour market integration: Policy trends and support in EU Member States
This report examines policy developments in EU Member States aimed at supporting the inclusion of people with disabilities in the open labour market, with a particular focus on the three stages of entering into employment, staying in the job and returning to work after an absence. It explores the mechanisms and effectiveness of more than 150 different policy measures designed to address the dimensions in place in the EU before the COVID-19 pandemic: job creation, labour supply, labour demand and contextual factors. In addition, it provides an updated analysis of early policy measures created in the wake of the pandemic that aimed to support the labour market situation of people with disabilities. A country case study on Ireland complements the study by outlining the complexity of disability and support systems from a broader perspective. The report builds on the lessons learned and provides policy pointers to improve the integration of people with disabilities into the open labour market.

Access to care services: Early childhood education and care, healthcare and long-term care
The right of access to good-quality care services is highlighted in the European Pillar of Social Rights. This report focuses on three care services: early childhood education and care (ECEC), healthcare, and long-term care. Access to these services has been shown to contribute to reducing inequalities throughout the life cycle and achieving equality for women and persons with disabilities. Drawing on input from the Network of Eurofound Correspondents and Eurofound’s own research, the report presents an overview of the current situation in various EU Member States, Norway and the UK, outlining barriers to the take-up of care services and differences in access issues between population groups. It pays particular attention to three areas that have the potential to improve access to services: ECEC for children with disabilities and special educational needs, e-healthcare and respite care.

How to respond to chronic health problems in the workplace?
The number of workers living with chronic health conditions is rising in the EU. Such conditions affect people’s ability to work to varying degrees. While some are unable to continue working, many wish to and would be able to do so if their workplace made adaptations to accommodate their needs. Maintaining labour force participation is a key issue for policymakers in the context of demographic ageing and a falling working-age population.
This policy brief examines chronic disease in EU workplaces: its prevalence, the impact on ability to work, the extent that workplaces are making adjustments for workers with chronic disease and the effect of that on job quality. It finds that most workers with a chronic disease that limits their ability to work do not benefit from workplace accommodation. It also finds that such adaptations can have a positive impact on the quality and sustainability of work.

Social and employment situation of people with disabilities
People with disabilities are among the most disadvantaged groups in the EU. This policy brief examines the social situation of people of working age with disabilities, using data from the 2011 and 2016 rounds of the European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS). The brief looks at changes over this period in employment, education and training, participation in society, social protection and healthcare, all priority areas of the European Disability Strategy. The brief also looks at the subjective well-being of this group of Europeans and examines the factors that influence their well-being. Among its policy pointers, the brief highlights the work that must be done to improve the employment situation of people with disabilities.
