Question 12269 — professions and social activities

Summary

Ms. Valérie Boyer draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the future of the home help profession. In France, in 2017, 3.6 million people employed more than 1.6 million employees from home. Being a home helper means taking care of the elderly, disabled, sick, injured or losing their independence. It means intervening on all levels, material, moral, social and health. But This profession has been in crisis for many years and is struggling to recruit despite a sharp increase in demand. Due to the organization of the activity, staff are mobilized over extended time slots, until 12 or 1 p.m., their interventions are often choppy, connected by numerous journeys, sometimes long and difficult, especially in the countryside. The division of tasks, permanent travel, fragmented schedules, often modified, cause pernicious fatigue and difficulties in reconciling professional and family life. Home help is a sector also affected by great insecurity with mostly part-time jobs. Currently the average salary is 972 euros gross for a full-time equivalent with 15 years of seniority. Present alongside our loved ones, home helpers carry out the essential tasks of daily. It is therefore necessary to upgrade their status and allow them to work in better conditions. Consequently, she asks what the Government plans to implement so that their work is rightly recognized.
