WICARE conference on pay and conditions in social services

Europe

The final conference of the WICARE project on pay and conditions in social services took place in Amsterdam on 18 November, organised by the AIAS research institute that coordinated the project. The overall findings were discussed and several country reports considered in detail. There was a general view that the reports provided affiliates with some useful and interesting information, providing a perspective on what individual workers actually thought of their pay and conditions. One of the key findings was the widespread and high levels of dissatisfaction with pay. Draft reports are available on the EPSU website and the final versions will be ready in time for the EPSU social services working group in February 2015.
