Disability laws in EU countries
All EU member countries follow the EU Employment Equality Directive, which stops disability discrimination in jobs. Beyond jobs, member states differ a lot. Some ban disability discrimination in many ways, some make sure people get fair help, some do both and some do neither.
Key point
The EU has not yet finished making disability discrimination laws the same in all countries. Job protections are the same in all member states because of the directive. But protections outside of jobs, in health care, schools, and housing, are very different in each country.
