Over the last two decades, the employment of predominately female live-in care workers has increased considerably within Europe, mainly, but not exclusively, in Western European countries.
Increased labor market participation of women as well as demographic changes led to so-called care gaps that are – at least partially – filled by circularly migrating care givers typically from new EU member countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Even though there are similarities, different patterns as well as a variety of regime and policy changes can be observed in different countries. However, precarious working conditions seem to be a common denominator across most receiving countries.
In this online workshop, six papers will be presented by:
- Petra Ezzeddine, Charles University Prague
- Oliver Fisher, National Institute of Health and Science on Ageing, Italy
- Simone Habel, Phil.-Theol. Hochschule Sankt Georgen
- Veronika Prieler, Johannes Kepler University Linz
- Marlene Seiffarth, University of Bremen
- Martina Sekulová, Slovak Academy of Sciences
