The text discusses Parliament's recommendations to promote equality in formal and informal care, emphasizing the need for gender equality in caregiving, sustainable funding, and a person-centered approach. It calls for recognition of informal carers in social security systems, equal sharing of care duties, and a European carers' statute. The focus is on encouraging men to take up caregiving responsibilities, improving working conditions for carers, and addressing the gender care gap through specific measures. Closing the gender care gap and supporting caregivers, both formal and informal, are highlighted as essential for a fair and equitable society.
