Welcome to our first episode of our podcast series on care worker rights in Europe. In this episode we speak about the rights of care and health workers in Italy. In one of the countries with the oldest population in the world, working conditions in care homes are highly precarious and care work does not receive the appropriate recognition. COVID-19 has not only raised attention to the issue but also exacerbated working conditions for many care and health workers. Listen to our podcast with Debora Del Pistoia from Amnesty Italy to find out what Amnesty Italy is asking to change in order to create a sustainable care system for both patients and workers.
