abstract: 'Increased demand for long-term care (LTC) services alongside precarious
working conditions has resulted in labour shortages in the LTC sector,
which has led to an increasing share of workers of migrant origin
filling these jobs. Previous research on migrant care workers has also
highlighted the seeming gap in working conditions relative to native
workers. However, lack of disaggregated data on migrant and native care
workers, alongside single-case studies, may have concealed potential
disadvantages faced by certain groups and insufficiently accounted for
differences in migration regimes and organisation of LTC sectors. To
address these gaps, we carried out a comparative study on various
working conditions of migrant and native LTC workers in Austria and
Sweden. Using the international Nordcare survey on care sector working
conditions, carried out in Austria in 2017 (n = 792) and in Sweden in
2015 (n = 708), we employed t-tests and multivariate logistic
regressions to compare the working conditions of migrant and native
carers in home and residential care in each country. We found that worse
working conditions in Sweden compared to Austria may be explained by
differences in training requirements of the LTC workforce and the
relatively large for-profit private sector. Country of origin also plays
a paramount role in the differences in working conditions experienced by
migrants compared to native care workers, with non-European migrants
being more likely to face a number of precarious working conditions. Our
findings highlight the need to continue addressing precarious working
conditions across the sector, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic
where poor working conditions have been linked to increased
COVID-related deaths in nursing homes. Our findings also emphasise the
importance of policies that consider the various challenges experienced
by different migrant groups in the LTC sector, who may particularly be
at risk of presenteeism during the COVID-19 pandemic.'
