"The phenomenon of ageing European societies is a significant challenge for each Member State. We must place an ever greater emphasis on care for the increasing number of elderly people. The traditions and culture of elder care differ by region: in the southern Member States, multiple generations living together solve the problem within the family, while in the northern Member States, institutionalised care is more common.
However, the costs of the latter form of care are growing and sustainability is increasingly tested due to the economic situation and the growth seen in the ageing population. In Central and Eastern Europe, non-governmental organisations and churches are very often able to implement a certain type of institutionalised procedure efficiently. However, this is still a rare phenomenon, and the state does not support this development route for the elder care system.
In the United Kingdom, the training system established for immigrants successfully solved the employment problem of previously unemployed women through elder care. Obviously, this practice can also be adopted successfully in other Member States. I welcome fellow Members Berès’s and Lynne’s motion for a resolution. I would like to highlight the part of the text calling on the Commission to compile a Green Paper based on Member States’ best practices and models, so that each Member State is empowered to implement the most adequate measures within its means, excluding the possibility of mistreatment and abuse of the elderly."@en1
