The European Centre carried out a survey of a random sample of care workers from the mobile and residential care sectors in three regions in Austria (Vienna, Upper Austria, Salzburg). A total of 1,110 care workers responded to items of the NORDCARE questionnaire that had already been applied in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Canada, Japan and a range of other countries. This allowed for selected comparisons, in particular with results from Germany and Sweden. The study was co-funded by the Chamber of Work for Vienna with the purpose of gathering information on the working conditions of the long-term care workforce in Austria.
