The demand for data disaggregated by various vulnerability criteria (ethnicity, gender, disability, age, region, etc.) in the EU is increasing. Factors such as belonging to an ethnic minority (like Roma) or having a disability or living in a remote area in economic decline or having migrant background often correlate with being vulnerable to poverty, social exclusion and violation of rights. In order to develop meaningful policies and effectively implement them, the Member States need to know which groups are at risk, why they are at risk and what are the quantitative parameters of the interventions that will address these risks. Robust comparable data disaggregated by various criteria will be particularly needed for monitoring the progress of the Sustainable Development Goals and in the context of the newly announced Pillar of Social Rights. A number of challenges and risks exist in this regard. Some of them are of methodological nature (e.g. on what criteria to define vulnerability), other verge on individual privacy (what level of detail and type of disaggregation would be in line with highest standards of data protection). The Fundamental Rights Agency will provide advice and technical expertise throughout the project implementation. Stakeholders of the project results are civil society; the academic community and researchers; non-governmental organizations representing different socially vulnerable groups; the bodies of state and local governments; international organizations.
