We have published our February Policy Briefs.
"The Labour Market Situation of People with Disabilities in EU25"
(http://www.euro.centre.org/detail.php?xml_id=1122)
In this Policy Brief Isilda Shima, Eszter Zólyomi, and Asghar Zaidi
acquaint with the main findings, conclusions and policy agenda of the
research project "Study of the Compilation of the Disability Data from
the Administrative Registers of the EU Member States". The peculiarity
of this analysis is that differently from other studies it is performed
using the statistics of the employment status of people with
disabilities drawn from administrative registers of the Member States.
"A Major Policy Impact of the European Centre’s Consultancy: A New
Long-term Care Scheme for Bolzano-Alto-Adige (Italy)"
(http://www.euro.centre.org/detail.php?xml_id=1120)
Kai Leichsenring highlights in the Policy Brief the main features of
this new scheme as well as the political and developmental process
accompanied by the European Centre.
Since 2000, the European Centre has accompanied the preparatory process
for the introduction of a long-term care insurance in the Autonomous
Province of Bolzano-Alto Adige (Italy), with the following objectives:
consultancy with respect to general policy guidelines for a reform of
long-term care;
scientific and developmental work to design and validate an adequate
assessment tool to classify individual care needs and respective
entitlements (including an estimation of the share of the population
with long-term care needs in order to estimate the costs of a long-term
care insurance);
proposals in relation to concrete entitlements and provisions to be
foreseen in the respective legal regulations;
recommendations concerning the organisational framework in relation to
administration, assessment process and accreditation of additional
providers.
Please feel free to forward the Policy Brief to people who might be
interested.
