3 1. Employment of migrant care workers in LTC Italy: 13% of households caring for older people employ privately migrant care workers (Lamura et al. 2008); Greece: 26% of migrants (but 80% of women!) are employed in personal care/household services (2007); Spain: permits for domestic work to foreigners raised from in 1999 to almost in 2006; Turkey: it has almost become normal to employ Moldovan [& Bulgarian] domestic workers in private households (Kaska 2006 in Suter 2008); Israel: Currently about 1out of 3 frail elderly persons employ a migrant live-in homecare worker (Iecovich 2009) Austria: over two thirds of home care workers have a migration background (Wiener Institut für Sozialpolitik, 2008) Germany: estimates speak of care migrants (DIP 2009) UK: 16% of home carers are foreign-born (Rawles 2008);

7 Current trends in Italian elder care 1. high and further increasing demand of elder care 2. decreasing availability of informal care but still strong familistic orientation on elder care 3. insufficient/inadequate provision of formal care in-kind (residential care: 3% of over 65 population; home care: 4-5%) cash oriented welfare state: cash-for-care benefits rather than inkind services. Dependent persons can receive care allowances from: the State: - disability pension (means tested: 238 /month) - care allowance (universal: /month; received by 10% of 65+!) many local authorities (usually means tested: / month) totally summing up to / month (average income of older Italians living alone: 1070 /month), whose use is fully free
8 The role of migrant home carers in Italy / 1 strong public, implicit incentive to privately employ migrant care workers, coming from all over the world:

15 Remittances of migrant care workers earnings to home country no answer 4% no 19% yes 77% Average proportion of wage remitted to home: 51% Lucchetti et al. 2005

23 3. The perspective of family carers: why do families employ migrant care workers?
24 Italian households employing migrant care workers by dependency level of older person Severe Moderate Light Lamura et al (%)
25 Families employing migrant workers, by income level of older person and of family carer 45 % Income level of older person Income level of carer
26 Families with migrant carers, by types of received allowances 25 % Disability pension State care allowance Local care allowance
27 Carers employing migrant workers, by relationship and working status Daughter-in-law Son Employed Daughter Not employed Eurofamcare data in Lamura et al %
28 Carers employing migrant workers by answer to question: Are you willingly to continue providing care? yes, even increasing care if necessary yes, even increasing care for a limited time yes, if the situation remains the same yes, but only if I get more support no, no matter what extra support I receive Eurofamcare data in Lamura et al % 40
29 Carers employing migrant workers, by service characteristics considered most relevant % 40 help is available at the time carer need it most care workers treat elder with dignity & respect care workers are skilled help provided improves elder's quality of life help arrives at the time it is promised help provided is not too expensive without migrant carer with migrant carer others Eurofamcare data in Lamura et al. 2007
30 Families motivations to employ migrant workers To guarantee constant care To keep elder at home To keep same life style To safeguard own family To provide necessary amount of care Lack of alternatives To be able to keep on working Cheaper than other alternatives Source: Spano %

33 Average hours of work per day no answer 10% 13 and over 26% % % % Lucchetti et al. 2005
34 Most burdening difficulties experienced by migrant care workers emotional and psychological tension fear that something might happen physical burden to see the older person in this (bad) condition lack/reduction of spare time cannot get out of home lack of rest lack/reduction of friendships others none Lucchetti et al %
35 How can these problems be improved? higher remuneration reduced or more flexible working hours higher professional consideration improved professionality higher stability others none Lucchetti et al %
36 "Are you going to keep on working as carer of older persons in the future?" (% by conditions of migrant care workers in Italy) Without contract Regularly employed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Full time Part time only As a second job Only if necessary No Lucchetti et al. 2004

38 What can facilitate the integration of migrants? Improve cooperation programmes between Italy and home country Increase participation to public life Facilitate knowledge of different cultures Organize multicultural libraries & centres Promote intercultural activities Increase visibility of migrants' associations Lucchetti et al %

40 Care drain risks in migrants home countries Migrant women s left behind children: well-off but socially deprived, missing maternal support & cared-for by grandmothers Mental illnesses of migrant women returning home after long years of isolated care work 40

42 Care drain risks in migrants home countries Migrant women s left behind children: well-off but socially deprived, missing maternal support & cared-for by grandmothers Mental illnesses of migrant women returning home after long years of isolated care work educational & training costs saved by destination countries and borne by sending countries sending countries are themselves becoming receiving countries of migrants from poorer/closer regions to fill the new care gaps 42
43 5. Final remarks Opportunities deriving from migrant work in elder care: tailored care: personalised response to elders and carers delayed or lower institutionalisation rates economic convenience: for both recipients and migrants (low housing costs, wage differentials & black market ) as well as in terms of public resources more focused home care services: centred on most severe cases.
44 Opportunities deriving from migrant work in elder care: tailored care: personalised response to elders and carers delayed or lower institutionalisation rates economic convenience: for both recipients and migrants (low housing costs, wage differentials & black market ) as well as in terms of public resources more focused home care services: centred on most severe cases. Policy challenges: 5. Final remarks quality of care: through qualification of migrant care workers labour market: control of undeclared work via accreditation & care allowances exploitation of migrant care workers: ethnic-gender overlap care drain in sending countries: who provides care there?
45 The role of international policy A comprehensive approach to tackle both long term care and migration challenges at international level should consider that: in receiving countries: the legal position of migrant care workers affects their probability of being exposed to exploitation: more efforts are need to ensure the respect of migrants rights to dignity and adequate economic recognition; interaction policies (between sending and receiving countries, and between migrants and nationals ) might be more culturally sensitive than integration policies (based on receiving societies ethnocentric values); in sending countries: international cooperation programs, by improving living conditions there, can reduce the impact of brain and care drain ; in both: quality of care work should be improved by increasing investments in care work, to attract more national candidates and prevent attempts to reduce current staff shortages by plundering the future of resource-poor nations (Anonymous 2008).
