Report on the EESC country visits to the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Poland following up on the EESC opinion on “The rights of live-in care workers”.
In September 2016, the EESC adopted an own-initiative opinion on “The rights of live-in care workers” (SOC/535, rapporteur: Adam Rogalewski, expert Karol Florek). It was the first policy document at European level addressing the issue of the working conditions of live-in care workers. As a follow-up to this initiative, the EESC resolved to carry out four country visits to the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Poland, chosen for being countries of origin and destination of live-in care workers located in the four corners of the EU.
