Some general regulations concerning non discrimination do exist in the policy for elderly people and handicapped people as issued by Ministry for Family, Social Solidarity and Youth. This is described by the Ministry as a challenge for Luxembourg. A budget has been released for the 12 Senior Clubs. e-Luxembourg has initiated some projects in this field which still need realisation.
A few provisions exist on delivery of services: Newspapers for blind people and cassettes can be found in special libraries for blind people. In an institution for blind people and people with reduced sight they do only work with a system to enlarge written texts. Often the need for ICT is not seen in a small country like Luxembourg. Also the elderly are not used to this kind of technology and want to stick to the things they used to work with during there whole life's. Luxembourg in this respect is not expected to play a front role in the development and uptake of IST by elderly.
