Care & domestic workers are essential — yet too often undervalued, underpaid & unprotected.

We call on the EU to act for fair pay, safety & recognition for all #PHS workers.

EFFE joined MEP @idoiamendia.bsky.social's breakfast meeting at the @europarl.europa.eu to push for a comprehensive #EU Strategy on Ageing.

Key priorities: better care worker conditions, sustainable funding, tackling undeclared work & including home care.

Europe must act!
#domesticwork #homecare
Europa está experimentando un gran cambio demográfico, que presenta retos, pero también oportunidades.

Las políticas públicas deben afrontar el envejecimiento, con un enfoque holístico en el ámbito laboral, de los cuidados y de colaboración intergeneracional.
