The EU strategy on care: A new paradigm for Carers across Europe?

On the 15th September 2021, EC President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the European Commission will put forward a new European Care Strategy as part of its Work Programme 2022 in order to “support men and women in finding the best care and the best life balance for them”. Ms. Von der Leyen went on to add that “caring for someone you love is the most precious time of all”, thereby raising hopes that the EU care sector may finally receive the attention and support it deserves.
