The European Union statistics body, Eurostat, has launched thematic section on disability, which gathers together all data, methodology, publications and information on related statistical legislation. The data available include disability prevalence, income and living conditions, social protection, access to the labour market, as well as on health and care services. It allows for the situation of persons with disabilities across EU countries to be compared and to assess whether they enjoy equal opportunities and full participation in all aspects of life. During 2024, Eurostat will continue to work on this section by releasing new data on aspects relating to life satisfaction, access to education and training, as well as on leisure and social participation. Further information on the thematic section on disability is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/disability/overview
