Additional details
Access project dashboardConsidering the critical role that care services play in the lives of persons with disabilities and the elderly, the ILO will focus on exploring the care sector, specifically by mapping all available social services provided to these groups by the government.
In addition, the project aims to analyse the current situation regarding the working conditions of care workers involved in 24-hour community services for persons with disabilities and the elderly. The situational analysis will serve as a solid foundation for developing recommendations on the most relevant and optimal working conditions for care workers.
The final beneficiaries of the project will include the care workers providing community-based services, persons with disabilities and the elderly who benefit from social services, and policymakers.
