Nursing should become a teaching profession, the unemployed in the crown should be retrained with funds from a foundation. Funding is open, but long-term care insurance is out.

Turquoise green passes into the agreed government schedule after the first six months of deep crown-related sleep. Until now, the focus has been on the older generation. After increasing small pensions by 3.5 percent, the goal is now to focus on the issue of care. The major reform that has been promised for years should come and be implemented from 2021. Negotiations are in full swing.

The initial situation: currently 460,000 people in Austria receive assistance allowance, 950,000 people take care of their relatives. That is more than ten percent of the total population. 73 percent of family caregivers are women. In order to cope with that, they returned to their private and professional lives. Loss of income and periods of insurance will affect your pension later. Obligations to care for the elderly and children are the main reasons for the poverty of women in old age.

However, demographic development shows that there will likely be many more caregivers in the coming years, people are getting older. There is already a huge shortage of caregivers in Austria. The country relies heavily on foreign workers. The crown crisis has shown what happens when they partially fail.
