InfoCare aims to provide the Swedish Ministry of Health and Social Affairs with an overview of the challenges faced by informal carers and the policies implemented to support them in countries with well-developed formal long-term care (LTC) systems, i.e. countries comparable to Sweden in this regard. To achieve this, the project will use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and identify good-practice examples of supporting informal carers. The findings can help inform targeted and effective support measures for informal carers in Sweden.

The JUSTMIG project combines innovative research and data collection on labour market dynamics in both service and manufacturing sub-sectors across 6 EU Member States where fixed-term contracting of migrant workers occurs, and 3 candidate countries as source countries for workers. Besides sectoral labour market and employment relation analysis, the 8 experienced consortium partners will also develop expertise on the adjustment of industrial relations structures in the selected countries in response to increased employment of migrant workers on fixed-term or outsourced temporary contracts. Starting from the development and application of innovative participatory methodology, the project addresses and involves social partners and labour market institutions throughout the project.

The project aims to improve person-centred and diversity-sensitive care for older people with migration background through the development of a training program, open educational resources and policy recommendations.
