    Europe’s ageing population is ever-increasing, and our societies are becoming more digitalised. Many public services are now available online, with many more services in the process of being digitalised. But the digitalisation of public services poses a risk of exclusion for older persons. In this new report, FRA explores the impact of digitalisation on the fundamental rights of older persons. The report maps the current legislation, policies and practices fostering digital inclusion. It provides an overview of the laws at the national level that provide for equal access to public services, both online and offline. The findings show how Member States safeguard older person’s rights to access services undergoing digitalisation. It outlines how Member States can support digital skills and ensure older people can fully participate in public life.

    Les enfants sont des titulaires de droits à part entière. Ils sont bénéficiaires de tous les droits fondamentaux et de tous les droits de l’homme, et sont sujets de réglementations particulières compte tenu de leurs caractéristiques spécifiques. Le présent manuel a pour but de montrer comment le droit et la jurisprudence européens s’adaptent aux intérêts et besoins particuliers des enfants. Il illustre également l’importance des parents et des tuteurs ou d’autres représentants légaux et fait référence, le cas échéant, aux principaux droits et responsabilités conférés aux personnes ayant la charge des enfants. Ce manuel entend sensibiliser le lecteur et approfondir ses connaissances des normes juridiques qui protègent et promeuvent les droits de l’enfant en Europe. Il constitue un ouvrage de référence sur le droit de l’Union européenne et du Conseil de l’Europe dans ces domaines. Il explique comment chaque question est réglementée en vertu du droit de l’UE, y compris de la charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne, ainsi qu’en vertu de la convention européenne des droits de l’homme, de la charte sociale européenne et d’autres instruments du Conseil de l’Europe.

    The right to access justice and all other relevant procedural rights are not just rights in themselves; they also protect against violations of every other right. Respect for children’s rights in the area of justice is therefore essential. International treaties, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, European Union (EU) secondary law, and national legislation provide a number of relevant rights.

Over 2.5 million people applied for international protection in the 28 EU Member States in 2015 and 2016. Many of those who were granted some form of protection are young people, who are likely to stay and settle in the EU. The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights interviewed some of them, as well as professionals working with them in 15 locations across six EU Member States: Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Sweden. This report presents the result of FRA’s fieldwork research, focusing on young people between the
ages of 16 and 24.

Individuals who are not entitled to stay in the European Union are typically subject to being returned to their home countries. This includes children who are not accompanied by their parents or by another primary caregiver. But returning such children, or finding another durable solution, is a delicate matter, and doing so in full compliance with fundamental rights protections can be difficult. This focus paper therefore aims to help national authorities involved in return-related tasks, including child-protection services, to ensure full rights compliance.

Based on FRA’s second large-scale survey on experiences and perceptions of antisemitism, this report focuses on the perspectives of young Jewish Europeans (aged 16-34) living in twelve EU Member States.

Le présent guide Enfants privés de protection parentale et devant être protégés dans un État
membre de l’UE autre que le leur vise à renforcer la réponse de l’ensemble des acteurs concernés en
matière de protection des enfants. La protection de ces filles et garçons est capitale et constitue une
obligation pour les États membres de l’UE, qui découle du cadre juridique international et européen.
Ce guide, qui met en oeuvre une action clé de la communication de 2017 visant à renforcer l’action
de l’UE en matière de lutte contre la traite des êtres humains, met particulièrement l’accent sur les
enfants victimes de la traite et sur les enfants vulnérables et tient compte des schémas recensés,
notamment en ce qui concerne les spécificités liées au genre de cette infraction.

Almost 25 million children under 18 are at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the EU. Poverty deprives children of educational
opportunities, childcare, access to health care, adequate food and housing, family support and even protection from violence.
This report outlines data and survey findings that highlight the magnitude of child poverty in the EU, but also presents tools
available to counter this phenomenon and keep track of progress made.

In November 2017, the European Commission requested FRA’s support in evaluating the impact on fundamental rights of the European Border Surveillance System (Eurosur) Regulation. Further to this request, FRA reviewed the work of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and analysed cooperation agreements concluded by EU Member States with third countries which are relevant for the exchange of information for the purposes of Eurosur. This report presents the main findings of such review.

Across the European Union, Member States are faced with the challenge of integrating Europe’s most deprived
and disenfranchised minority groups. As a follow up to the EU-MIDIS II findings on Roma, this report presents
FRA’s findings relating to the issues of education and employment. Encouraging Roma participation in education
and employment equips communities with higher incomes, better life opportunities and greater social inclusion.
In the latest edition of his video blog, FRA Director Michael O'Flaherty focuses on the importance of shifting perceptions towards a rights-based approach to ageing.

Les sociétés européennes ne rajeunissent pas. Ceci est un fait auquel l’Europe entière doit faire face, sachant que d’ici 2080, soit deux générations, la proportion de personnes âgéesde 65 ans ou plus représentera près de 30 % de la population de l’Union européenne.

The year 2017 brought both progress and setbacks in terms of rights protection. The European Pillar of Social Rights marked an important move towards a more ‘social Europe’. But, as experiences with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights underscore, agreement on a text is merely a first step. Even in its eighth year as the EU's binding bill of rights, the Charter's potential was not fully exploited, highlighting the need to more actively promote its use.

Au sein de l’Union européenne, les OSC jouent un rôle crucial dans la promotion des droits
fondamentaux, mais il leur est désormais plus difficile d’assumer ce rôle en raison de restrictions
d’ordre à la fois juridique et pratique.
Le rapport de la l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA) se penche
par conséquent sur les différents types de difficultés rencontrées par les OSC actives dans
le domaine des droits de l’homme au sein de l’Union européenne.

The methods used to determine the age of
an applicant may include “invasive” medical tests which interfere with the rights of the child, including their right to dignity,
integrity and privacy. It is often a challenge to find the right balance between protecting children from harm and promoting
their participation in these procedures. This report provides important insights and identifies the implications of collecting
children’s biometric data and conducting age assessments.
