Summary:
Migrants and Ethnic Minorities
EU Member States in December 2000 (revised December 2002) agreed
a common set of objectives for combating poverty and social exclusion.
One of these common objectives – To help the most vulnerable
– includes the following statement - To promote the social
integration of women and men at risk of facing persistent poverty,
for example because they have a disability or belong to a group
experiencing particular integration problems such as those affecting
immigrants; The NAP/Inclusion refers to the need for an overall
framework on migration which would cover the regulation of inflows
into the state, together with integration issues, racism and interculturalism.

Title: NAPS
Social Inclusion Forum: Older People – Care Services
in the Community

Executive
Summary:
Access to services by
older people
The improvement of access by older people to required services is
a priority objective under the National Action Plan against Poverty
and Social Exclusion 2003-2005 (NAP/Inclusion). A relatively high
proportion of older people, a majority of whom are women, are at
risk of poverty and social exclusion and this risk is exacerbated
when they are living alone. Income support and accessibility of
services is critical to their quality of life. The ageing of the
population, including increasing longevity, leads to greater demands
for care for older people. The relative rural decline is continuing
with the rate of increase in the population, as recorded in the
2002 census, at 4.3% being over 6% less than the increase in the
urban population, which is now 60% of the total population. This
can affect the level of services and isolation for older people.

Summary:
Participation by Students
with Disabilities
Although research on the employment of people with disabilities
is ongoing and in
development, the results of research to date has shown that people
with disabilities are disadvantaged in terms of access to employment.
Of further interest is the ongoing research on access to third level
education for people with disabilities. The National Action Plan
against Poverty and Social Exclusion has set a target to increase
participation by students with disabilities at third level to 1.8
per cent by 2006.

Tackling Educational Disadvantage
Education plays a fundamental role in providing full access to life

the education system with a high quality education and related qualifications
to support their full participation in society and in the economy.
