The project
The project AD-PHS, which runs until May 2020, is intended to lead to the creation of a single platform of support, guidance, and advice to the European authorities in the development of sector-based public policies in the field of personal and home services. In concrete terms, the project will enable the organization of 21 national workshops and seminars organized in EU Member States, which will allow the exchange of good practices, the deepening of research and the development of a consolidated social dialogue between the many players in the sector, be they trade unions, employers’ organizations, ministries, or civil society actors. It will ultimately promote the development of common instruments to all EU Member States, and provide tools for public policy advice by the EU authorities.
