Pay and Working Conditions in Social Care (WICARE): Project Information

EPSU is involved in new project investigating pay and conditions in the social services sector: WICARE.

This is a major survey of workers in social care across 34 countries. The WICARE project will use online questionnaires set up on the international network of Wage Indicator websites. These will be available in national languages along with paper versions of the survey.

The project runs until November 2014 and EPSU is working with researchers at AIAS (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and CELSI (Bratislava, Slovakia).

The project, WICARE, will be similar to the earlier project WISUTIL which focused on pay and conditions in energy, waste and water.

EPSU affiliates will be asked to encourage their members in social care to complete the survey - either online or on paper.
