5th information exchange for women: Is caring female? - Reconciling care and work

Information from the Equal Opportunities Officer of the City of Chemnitz on the appointment on Thursday, 8 November, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Chemnitz Employment Agency/BIZ

The City of Chemnitz, Chemnitz Job Centre and Chemnitz Employment Agency are inviting women to the 5th Info Fair for Women on Thursday, 8 November from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Vocational Information Centre (BIZ), Heinrich-Lorenz-Strasse 20. The information fair is jointly initiated and organised by the Equal Opportunities Officer of the City of Chemnitz and the Equal Opportunities Officers of the Chemnitz Job Centre and the Chemnitz Employment Agency. Bettina Bezold, Equal Opportunities Officer of the City of Chemnitz: "This year's Women's Info Exchange is centred around the topic of care. We will be providing information on selected topics relating to care law, care insurance benefits, protecting your own health as a carer, health care proxies, living wills and advance care directives. We also want to show what employment opportunities the care sector offers women."
Attendance at the information fair is free of charge. Representatives of the media are cordially invited to the information exchange and reporting.

In all areas, care work is still disproportionately done by women. Household and personal care, such as child rearing, caring and nursing are usually carried out by wives, mothers, grandmothers, daughters and daughters-in-law. Carers often accept considerable professional and personal restrictions and additional burdens in return. The aim of the Women's Info Exchange is to raise awareness of the support available for carers, what they should look out for and what career prospects the care work sector offers them.
