The caregiving field of employment has the largest number of foreign workers in Israel with over 57,000 legal workers and some 12,000 illegal workers. The main issues related to these workers are as follows:
The Twinning Project intervention is aimed at helping the unit to learn from the best practices effective in EU Member States. Building on the establishment of a well-functioning Unit, the Commissionership now needs to acquire further expertise to move from the individual response it provides to employees, to establishing and disseminating best practices to create a working environment that in itself protects workers’ rights by, inter alia, also raising awareness and perception among the relevant stakeholders.
The overall objective (expected impact) of the Project is to improve the protection of foreign workers’ labour rights in the caregiving sector. The specific objective (expected outcome) is to enhance the Commissioner’s efficiency in the empowerment of foreign employees and their employers for self-enforcement of the labour rights in the caregiving sector.
Therefore, the Twinning Project will consist of two main components: (i) Institutional capacity building and improvements and (ii) Improved awareness of stakeholders on best practices and improvement of employee wellbeing.
The Mandatory Results of the project per component would be the following:
