🇪🇺 The European Care Deal announced in this year's State of the Union must recognise household employers, domestic workers and home care as part of the solution. Rooted in proximity, it's a real answer to Europe's demographic challenge, yet it remains under-recognised. #SOTEU2026
Times may change, but our values do not 🇪🇺
SOTEU 2026 highlighted key social priorities for the year ahead, including:
💼 A Quality Jobs Act
🤝 A European Care Deal
🗣️ An upcoming summit on the European Pillar of Social Rights

ALT “In Europe, people will always come first” Ursula von der Leyen, SOTEU 2026 What are the social priorities?
ALT “Care is not a privilege. Housing is not a privilege. They are rights.” Addressing demographic changes, with the European Care Deal
ALT “Times may change, technologies may change, but our values do not.” Delivering on what was promised, with the European Pillar of Social Rights
ALT “Look at young people and the barriers they are facing.” Giving workers a fair chance, with the Quality Jobs Act
31.7% of women with children in the EU work part-time, vs 5.1% of men. Not a coincidence.
Home-based childcare, parents directly employing a carer, helps close that gap. It's time to recognise, simplify & support parent-employers and protect the workers who care for our families.
Most part-time workers are women with children.
This year we will hear from our social partners about barriers to employment and how to overcome them.

Today is #InternationalWorkersDay.
Women are more likely to face poverty, due to less job opportunities & lower employment rates and unpaid care work.
To create better opportunities for all, we will adopt our first-ever Anti-Poverty strategy on 6 May.
