The annual European Conference on the Day of Persons with Disabilities is part of the EU’s efforts to promote the mainstreaming of disability issues and to raise awareness of the challenges faced by persons with disabilities. Magdi Birtha from the European Centre acted as Rapporteur.

In 2008, the European Centre pioneered by publishing the first report with facts and figures on long-term care that was followed by a second edition in 2012. These reports provided a broad picture of the state of play of care needs of the population and of care systems. They served as a basis for informing the development of ageing and care policies in an international comparative perspective over the past decades. Considering the changed context conditions and policy developments as well as new data sources, we compiled a report with updates in specific areas and new chapters outlining current and future challenges during the ongoing digital and demographic transformation.

Supported by the Swedish Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, the report gathers new knowledge and shows trends in demand and supply of long-term care in Europe that will be halpful for policymakers and researchers alike.
