More than one in ten, that is, at least 50m citizens throughout the EU, must deal with a disability and are confronted daily with physical barriers. And, as populations are increasingly ageing and disabilities are often acquired with age, their number is set to increase. Although EU legislation has been in place since 2000 to implement the principle of equal treatment in employment, disabled people still remain among the most disadvantaged social groups throughout Europe. Indeed, 45% of Europeans recently surveyed think that discrimination amongst disabled people is particularly rife.

  • From pacare Romania facelizeaza not those facilities and accessibility are just on paper just did a little

  • Hypocritical- EU- mush!

    The reality is that people are left on theire own. With no money and no jobs.

    ... Or used as yet another pawn in the game to bring down wages.

    A race to the bottom.

    Down with neo-liberalism!

  • If so, I guess that would be due to injuries due to the Vietnam and Iraq wars. The released numbers for Iraq are 30 thousand or so, but the real number is much higher as that only counts those directly injured by enemy ordinance. That figure is not given out, AIUI.

  • So are you saying that the US holds a bigger % of disabled people?

  • Hey UeTube here in the US we had in 2006 over 41 million with rough estimates being 60 to 70 million as not everyone was accounted for... Homeless and people not reporting.

    I started on online News Network my channel here has a link to it, it is pretty new but I would LOVE to add you guys as a reousrce and link to you.

    My network is not US only it is GLOBAL in nature, as I want a global TV/Radio and online resource for people in our world.
