Supporting the registered employment of women through home-based child-care services

The good practice is mainly about promoting the registered employment of women by facilitating the integration into the labour market of women with small children who are at risk of withdrawal from the labour market and by supporting the formal work of women who provide home-based child-care services.

The good practice supports mothers with small children in targeted provinces who employ a child caregiver and who return to work by granting €300 for a period of up to 24 months to promote directly their registered employment and indirectly those of the child caregivers they recruited.

This has been implemented in Antalya, Bursa and İzmir provinces which were chosen according to mainly socio-economic development levels and the number of insured women in those provinces.

The target groups are women with children up to 2 years of age who are working or about to start/return to working in a registered job and also women providing or about to start providing home-based child care services as a registered job.

5,000 mothers, 5,000 caregivers and 5,000 children are expected to benefit from the financial support.
