CTSSP considers that the care sector is one of the great forgotten in current policies, and one of the most important role to be acquired in the coming years, due to the aging of the population.
We believe that it is essential that these initiatives start from the town halls, given their proximity to neighbors, and because it is the most accessible place to people and to which they can go more easily when this need arises.
Issues as important as ensuring a sufficient staff of care professionals in public residences and day centers, increase the residential places of dependent elderly, or expand the public network of nursery schools from zero years, so that conciliation is allowed of work and family life.
The purple formation will present a motion for debate at the next Plenary, and wants to highlight the importance of it, since all people depend on others at some point in our lives or require special care, and fundamentally, this work " caring ", currently falls mostly in female hands (83% of the people who care are women).
At present, it is an undervalued work, little or no remunerated, physically and psychologically hard, and generally assumed by women who care for a relationship based on the family;
or by precariously paid workers.
