Unseen, undervalued: It's time to recognise the real value of informal care
EASPD continues our work to address the gender care gap through a series of webinars as part of the EQUAL-CARE project.
The first one, "Unseen, Undervalued – Recognising the Real Value of Informal Care" will take place on 9 January 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00 CET.
The webinar will be in English with live captions in DE, ES, IT, EL, LT, SL.
During this webinar we will explore:
- The vital contribution of informal carers to Europe's care system
- Why care work remains undervalued and feminised
- How gender norms make care work invisible
- What policy changes are needed for recognition and investment
About the project
EQUAL-CARE is a CERV project aiming to tackle the gender care gap in both formal care work and informal family caregiving. Through this project we are developing innovative tools, training, and awareness initiatives to challenge stereotypes, support equal opportunities, and create fair working conditions for all carers.
