In this policy brief, we explore challenges and barriers persons with disabilities (PwD) face to full social inclusion and propose policy options to address them through investment in and better access to (vocational) education, public funding of personal assistance, and improved data collection for evidence-based policy making.

This policy brief focuses on the role of National Human Rights Bodies in assessing the horizontal enabling conditions in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the Charter) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) compliance of EU funds.

In this policy brief, the authors discuss findings from the InCARE survey on attitudes, experiences and expectations on long-term care in Malta. They find that that there is a mismatch between preferences and expectations for receiving care in the community, aggravated by affordability and availability barriers.

In this brief, we discuss how posted and other hypermobile migrant construction workers suffer from marginalization in both the labour market and in access to social insurance, with variations between biographically different groups of posted workers.

Drawing on interviews from the SMUG project, this policy brief argues that many posted workers do not conform to the directive’s definition of a posted worker. Workers are often hired for posting, have genuine posting careers or move across categories to find job opportunities.
