I need the relevant legislation on social work/ benefits for the disabled people for a comparative analysis accross EU Member States
There is overall legislation on Social Entrepreneurship exists in many countries but to the best of my knowledge,
the benefits for disabled people are more practiced through various circulars at local, district, and state levels.
I am interested in conducting a cross-national comparative policies analysis on the level of benefits and rights granted to several cathegories of disabled people. I am searching for the relevant legislation or institutions regarding these rights.
Hi there, I have found this link: https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=1137
maybe it helps.
The legislation on the social and policy issues is country specific. You have to search country specific material. However, United Nations declared 1981 as as International Year on Disability and the period 1983-1992 as UN Decade of the Disabled Persons which saw many UN General Assembly Resolutions and Reports. Later, period from 1993 to 2002 was declared as Asia Pacific decade for the Disabled Persons which concluded with a conference in Hong Kong in 2002. The related publications can be accessed from ESCAP repository. The Second Asian and Pacific Decade of Disabled Persons, 2003 to 2012, emphasized a paradigm shift from a charity-based approach to a rights-based approach to disability, reflected in policies and programmes in the region. Now again the ESCAP has resolved to observe 2013-22 as Third Asia Pacific Decade of disabled persons. Some of the suggested readings are:
* General Assembly resolution 37/52
*General Assembly resolution 38/28
* A/44/755 (1989)
* WHO and the World Bank, (2011)
* United Nations, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, (2007).
*United Nations, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, Consideration of a Regional Framework for Action Towards an Inclusive, Barrier-Free and Rights-Based Society for Persons with Disabilities in Asia and the Pacific: Biwako Millennium Framework for Action Towards an Inclusive, Barrier-Free and Rights-Based Society for Persons with Disabilities in Asia and the Pacific. E/ESCAP/APDDP/4/Rev.1, and and United Nations, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, Biwako Plus Five: Further Efforts Towards an Inclusive, Barrier-free and Rights-based Society for Persons with Disabilities in Asia and the Pacific, E/ESCAP/APDDP(2)/2*
*Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific resolution 69/13
* Resolution 74/7: Towards disability-inclusive sustainable development: implementation of the Beijing Declaration, including the Action Plan to Accelerate the Implementation of the Incheon Strategy (adopted on 16 May 2018
Information of this nature may be found on the EU website under resources for an overview and for specific countries the ministry of human development should contain this information
Since the social law is in the full domain of the 27 EU Member states you must look into 27 national legislative acts (or more :)
In 2011 I handed in my master these in criminal law of 28 member states...
Here are two databases to start from:
ILO - International Labor Organization, see https://www.ilo.org/dyn/natlex/natlex4.home
Yale Law Library, see https://library.law.yale.edu/research/guides/all-countries
Good Luck and have fun :)
