On #CarersDay_EU, WHO/Europe recognizes that carers are the backbone of our society. It’s time to recognize their contributions and to support them in achieving a healthy #WorkLifeCare balance. @eurocarers_info

Just in time for #CarersDay_EU, we published a PB this week on support measures for #youngcarers. Young carers are often invisible and difficult to identify, but more needs to be done to support them.

The annual European Centre for Social Welfare Policy&Research General Assembly Meeting held at UN Vienna is always an exciting time to present and reflect on the work we've carried out over the past year, and to discuss future directions! #GAM2023

Including quality of care into policies that promote healthy ageing is essential for ensuring effectiveness, safety, inclusivity, and equity in the WHO European Region. bit.ly/HealthyAgeing2… #HealthyAgeing2023 #AddingLifeToYears

Always a pleasure to present and raise awareness of our efforts to get the EuroCohort/ GUIDE survey off the ground here in Austria! The #GUIDE survey will be an important research infrastructure not only for Austria, but for all European countries. Coordinate Network (EU)

An estimated 53 million people provide informal #care across the European Union. Most of this care is provided by women, between the age of 45-64. We need to recognize & support informal #caregivers in the valuable work they do. @eurocarers_info EU Social 🇪🇺

#Caregivers often face high levels of stress, social isolation and loneliness due to the demands of providing and organizing #care. The #MentalHealth burden of informal #caregiving is particularly high among women. Read more: who.int/europe/publica…

Women are not only more likely to provide #care they also tend to do it more frequently and spend more time on it than men. It’s time to address #gender inequalities in informal #care and support. who.int/europe/publica…
