Task 6: Comparative data and indicators, Year 1, 2012: European comparative data on Europe 2020 & Housing Conditions

The Academic Network of European Disability Experts (ANED) aims to maintain a pan-European academic network in the disability field by engaging the expertise of existing networks, disability re-search centres and individual experts in Europe, and external advisors in partnership with European organisations representing disabled people and older people. The Academic Network of European Disability Experts (ANED), established following a tender procedure in December 2007, and is funded by the European Commission. The philosophy and aims focus on research that supports implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)1 and the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 towards the goal of full participation and equal opportunities for all disabled people. The work programme for 2012 builds on the results of the previous 4 years of the Network’s existence, by carrying out the following tasks, and linking to the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020: Task 1: Network management Task 2: Collecting and analysing data (mapping tool) Task 3: Legal framework and instruments Task 4: Accessibility Task 5: National strategies and social policies Task 6: Comparative data and indicators The objectives of Task 6 are: To access and prepare the required datasets for analysis (EU-SILC, LFS, EHIS, EQLS, etc.); To provide comparative data against a selection of quantitative indicators; To publish the selected indicators on the ANED website. The present report is part of Task 6 and aims to elaborate comparative data and indicators

The (2,3)-generation of the classical simple groups of dimension 6 and 7

In this paper we prove that the finite simple groups $PSp_6(q)$, $\Omega_7(q)$ and $PSU_7(q^2)$ are (2,3)-generated for all q. In particular, this result completes the classification of the (2,3)-generated finite classical simple groups up to dimension 7

European comparative data on Europe 2020 & People with Disabilities

Summary and Conclusions Europe 2020 is a new strategy for the EU which aims among others to deliver high levels of employment and strengthen social cohesion. Monitoring achievements through statistics is integral part of the Europe 2020 strategy. Also, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities refers in its Article 31 to statistics and data collection. In the following, we present the relevant indicators based on EU-SILC 2011. The data cover EU 28 except Ireland
