Comparative Data and Monitoring

Professor Stefanos Grammenos (Centre for European Social and Economic Policy) presented an update on the piloting of key quantitative indicators relevant to the EU 2020 strategy.

Pan-European statistical databases, such as EU-SILC, provided the data for comparing participation and outcomes for disabled women and men in the EU Member Statesin a range of areas, including: demographics; employment, unemployment and economic activity rates; risk of povertyand severe material deprivation; accessibility of public transport, postal and banking services; completion of tertiary education.

European Comparative Data on the Situation of Disabled People: an annotated review

Comparative data on equality and accessibility for disabled people in European countries

Policy makers will require new kinds of data to monitor implementation of the UN Convention and the European Disability Action Plan priorities. ANED aims to increase understanding about comparative data that can be used for disability research and policy development in Europe. Disability should be mainstreamed in data collection and access to such data should be widely available. During 2008 we examined existing sources of comparative data and produced an annotated report on relevant European social surveys and statistical data sources.

Indicators of Disability Equality in Europe (IDEE)

During 2009 a working group was formed to develop preliminary proposals for qualitative and quantitative indicators, in consultation with the ANED Network and other relevant actors engaged in indicator development work, including Eurostat, the World Health Organisation and the Council of Europe. The purpose of the group was to agree an outline approach to developing comparative indicators and to produce recommendations for a preliminary list that could be proposed for wider consultation and piloting.

Piloting the indicators

Following the conceptualisation and development of indicator proposals in 2008 and 2009, the next stage was to pilot a selection of statistical items using available data at the European level. The initial list was selected to include items particularly relevant to the EU2020 targets on outcomes in employment, tertiary education and poverty reduction but also sought to include items across the range of themes proposed by the working group. Relevant data was accessed via Eurostat and from published sources to populate the selected items. The compilation of statistical indicators from the pilot is now available as a report and an annex of tables.

Pilot: Comparative Data and Monitoring

During ANED’s third Annual Meeting on 1st December 2010 Professor Stefanos Grammenos (Centre for European Social and Economic Policy) presented a summary report of key findings from the pilot of a range of quantitative indicators, previously proposed by ANED, including those most relevant to the EU2020 strategy.
