Population ageing creates a need and a demand for more and better jobs in long-term care. While the care sector is growing in most Member States, there are barriers to job creation, such as a shortage of recruits, budgetary constraints and demanding working conditions. Eurofound’s latest report, looking at how successful recruitment and retention measures in home-care and support services can contribute to employment growth, is launched today at a high-level conference under the Lithuanian EU Presidency.
Results from Eurofound’s forthcoming report More and better jobs in home care services will be presented for the first time at a high-level event in Brussels on Thursday, 12 September 2013 at the Committee of the Regions. This one-day conference, organised by Eurofound under the auspices of the Lithuanian Presidency, will assess the policy challenges for long-term care as well as personal household services, particularly in relation to job creation and the quality of jobs in this sector.
