The thematic report on “Mobility and the role of Youth Information in the lives of young people with disabilities or chronic health conditions” highlights their specific needs regarding youth mobility and information.
This report compares the answers of young people with disabilities or chronic health conditions to those of other young respondents. This comparison helps show where access to mobility and information differs and where extra support is needed.
The key findings of this report are that young people with disabilities or chronic health conditions are:
- Equally enthusiastic about going abroad as their peers.
- Enjoy their mobility experiences just as much and rate them equally positively.
- Tend to seek out mobility-related information more actively than other young people, with slight differences in the sources they use.
- Despite positive engagement, they face more challenges when going abroad: discrimination, administrative barriers, lack of information, financial costs, and discouragement from family or friends.
Youth information services can play a key role in better preparing and supporting them to handle challenges and ensure even more positive mobility experiences in the future.
