abstract: 'Over the past ten years in Italy, Spain and France, the demographic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pressure and the increasing women''s participation in labour market have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fuelled the expansion of the private provision of domestic and care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services. In order to ensure the difficult balance between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affordability, quality and job creation, each countries'' response has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
been different. France has developed policies to sustain the demand side
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
introducing instruments such as vouchers and fiscal schemes, since the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mid of the 2000s. Massive public funding has contributed to foster a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regular market of domestic and care services and France is often
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
presented as a ``best practices{''''} of those policies aimed at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
encouraging a regular private sector. Conversely in Italy and Spain, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development of a private domestic and care market has been mostly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
uncontrolled and without a coherent institutional design: the osmosis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between a large informal market and the regular private care sector has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
been ensured on the supply side by migrant workers'' regularizations or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the introduction of new employment regulations. The analysis presented
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in this paper aims to describe the response of these different policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the challenges imposed by the current economic crisis. In dealing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the retrenchment of public expenditure and the reduced households''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
purchasing power, Italy, Spain and France are experiencing greater
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
difficulties in ensuring a regular private sector of domestic and care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services. In light of that, the paper analyses the recent economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conjuncture presenting some assumptions about the future risk of deeper
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities rising along with the increase of the process of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
marketization of domestic and care services in all the countries under
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
