The Government of Navarre will improve the situation of care workers and dependents
- In order to address the precarious situation of care work and promote the decent recruitment of care workers, the Government of Navarre will allocate subsidies to this sector. The distribution of aid to dependent families will begin in September, according to NEW.
According to the study presented on Thursday by Patxi Tuñón, director of the Observatory of Social Reality and Inés Francés, director of the Navarre Agency for the Autonomy and Development of People, there are more than 10,300 dependents in Navarre, almost half of whom have a person hired for care. However, Tuñón and Francés report that 25.7% of the surveillance personnel operate without contracts.
In addition, the precarious situation of workers operating under contract is evident. On average, they receive a salary of 800 euros per month for contracts of 30 hours.
In light of this, the government of Navarre has established three powers. “Promote employment in the sector, provide quality professional and qualified care, and ensure that those who are dependent can continue to live at home,” said Francés.
To achieve these goals, grants will be distributed from September onwards to families of dependents to hire accredited care workers. In addition, in order to professionalize the sector, temporary certificates and training sessions will be offered for unaccredited workers to obtain permits.
