The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion has published a \u2018handbook\u2019 to support workers with chronic illnesses or disabilities and prevent the risk of disability.<\/p>\n

The handbook contains practical information and suggestions both for employers to help them improve safety in the workplace and make it more inclusive, and for workers – victims of cancer, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders, long COVID and work-related psychosocial risks – about their rights, or for the people and organisations who draft legislation.<\/p>\n

In 2022, 36.1% of the EU population aged 16 or over reported a chronic illness or morbidity, i.e. a long-term illness or health problem (33.8% of men and 38.3% of women), the term \u2018long-term\u2019 being defined as having lasted or expected to last at least six months. Chronic illness is closely linked to (the risk of) disability.<\/p>\n

The handbook is part of the Disability Rights Strategy 2021-2030<\/u><\/a> adopted by the European Commission in 2021.<\/p>\n
