| Abstract: | Care for disabled and chronically ill family members with Long-Term Care (LTC) needs, is still largely provided informally by women. Yet, in spite of the increasing number of women in the labour market, Malta does not have any legal provisions to facilitate their work-life balance. As a result, women may face a higher risk of poverty or social exclusion and situations may be worse for workers in the private sector where family friendly measures are scant. This gendered issue is not cost neutral and requires immediate attention to ensure that all workers can afford a decent living as they strive to care and work. |
