👩⚕️ 50% of workers in domestic work are undeclared—a major loss for social protection & tax revenues!
✅ #DomCareValue helps policymakers design smart subsidies to formalize jobs, improve wages & expand access to home care.
💡 Let’s turn care into an opportunity for all!
#EUCareStrategy #Formalization
💰 What if public investment in domestic work could generate more revenue than it costs?
🔎 The #DomCareValue simulator shows that every €1 invested in indirect care can generate socio-fiscal returns!
📊 Let’s rethink care work as a driver of economic growth & social progress.
Great discussions at the @europarl.europa.eu on #domesticwork hosted by @idoiamendia.bsky.social!
📢 We presented #DomCareValue, showcasing how investment in #IndirectCare boosts jobs & public finances!
