‘Long-term care and early childhood, Commission wants to enhance role of carers and relieve women’, 8 September 2022: article in Agence Europe on the launch of the EU Care Strategy and the first reaction of some stakeholders (incl. AGE)
“The strategy was generally welcomed by associations, such as AGE, the European platform of organisations
supporting the elderly, which called it ‘historic’.”
“AGE also recognises that ‘in the most important areas, the care strategy does not provide clear targets and
indicators for long-term care, unlike its ambition for early childhood education and care’. And in most areas,
‘the Commission puts the ball back in the court of the Member States’.”
