The Project
The objective of the CARE4CARE project is to investigate in a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective the working conditions of care workers and their perception of their working environment in six EU Member States (France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden) and to develop suitable tools to improve job quality and counteract discrimination in the sector.

The Consortium can rely on the support of the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).
Publications
The Project aims at implementing an open access dissemination system to guarantee a broad diffusion of data collected and results achieved: the sharing of the acquired knowledge will benefit both the scientific community and the stakeholders.
