Precarious Situations of Care Workers in Home-Based Elder Care in Slovenia
The article argues that employment and quasi-employment positions which coexist in home-based care can be sorted along two continuums: between public and market service; between formal and informal work. The study based on policy analysis and individual interviews shows that working conditions in home-based care differ considerably according to the position of the care worker on these two continuums, that is, being employed in public services, being self-employed, working in informal care markets, holding a status of family assistant, or being an informal family caregiver.
