"Example: Your grandmother will meet 100 different caregivers for home care in a year"
French here. My grand pa is old and has caregivers (paid by his public health care + the local county) coming to his home every day, they're always the same 4-5 people.
It's not hard giving people a steady job instead of using disposable contractors.
- kzrdude 10y agoWell, Sweden definitely is not hitting that mark.
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoThis probably says a lot more about the lack of upward mobility in the struggling french economy than anything else. Youth unemployment at a staggering 26% and almost no economic growth in the past few quarters. In more vibrant economies these jobs are seen as largely unattractive and often as a stepping stone to becoming a nurse's aid, nurse, doctor, etc. One of the major imported jobs in even closed societies like Japan is senior caregivers. Its hard and ugly work, and often thankless (how can a senior with dementia appreciate you?). Migrating to different jobs or eventual burn out is a real issue in this industry.
