Abstract: The policies developed to answer the pandemic in Europe have varied from country to country, but in the field of home care for elderly people, the emergence of Covid-19 has raised the same health and socio-economic questions. How to ensure the protection of home care workers and the people they were caring for, knowing that certain tasks require close proximity? How to ensure, especially in a context of lack of equipment or unclear instructions, that care workers were not exposed to the virus? How to reward home care workers? How has the pandemic led to a longer-term reconfiguration of the regulation of the home care sectors?
The objective of the conference is to present the first results of the COVICARE project. It aims to understand how the institutional contexts and the existing systems of organized actors in five very different countries (France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and the United Kingdom) have determined the responses to the problems faced by the elderly and the professional home care workers working with them, both at the time of the arrival of the virus and afterwards.The project also intends to analyse the reception of these policies at the micro level.
The aim of this conference is to present the results of the COVICARE research, articulating a “top-down” and “bottom-up” analysis of the adoption and effects of some of the different measures taken during the crisis on employment and care work in different European countries.
