24-Hour Care Worker in Austria – A conversation on how 24-hour care workers need a firm legislative framework that protects their worker right

Welcome to the second epsiode of our podcast series on care worker rights in Europe. In this second episode we speak about the rights of care and health workers in Austria. We are exploring the reasons behind why 60.000 24-hour care workers are working in unfair, unsafe and precarious working conditions in Austria. Further, these live-in care workers are to 98% migrants and 92% women which gives the topic of unfair working conditions an extra human rights issue. We speak to Teresa Hatzel from Amnesty Austria to explore the reasons behind and solutions to the human rights dangerous situation.
