Patient's/Resident's Perspective

Introduction 

The appeal to the private market assistance has in recent years an increasing role, becoming the object of specific attention by the social sciences. The phenomenon is somewhat unusual, both for the rapidity with which it is said (almost absent in the late nineties) and for its presence in the regions (widespread in the North, as in the Centre and South). It 'also this phenomenon, which in Australia has taken a different consistency than other countries, for reasons attributable to the very characteristics of our welfare system to a background characterized by relatively low rates of institutionalization, poor dissemination of public and community services assistance from loads imposed mainly on the family, followed by the changes that have affected the contemporary family, with the increasing aging of the population leads to a greater need for carers, lower fertility rates, the nuclearization and embrittlement of informal support networks, the growing participation of women in the labor market and the related changes in tasks and roles within the family(Roe & Beech, 2005, pp. 121-30). 

Discussion

In the face of such a framework, the duties of care that in the past were resolved within the framework of solidarity between the generations are now outsourced by families, becoming real estate market. 

Most modern female immigration answers this question and is used in a segment of the labour market that historically suffers a lack of legal definition and a high rate of arbitrariness and "familialization", based on a century-old machine representation naturalized role of women and the systematic devaluation of the work of women within the home. 

And 'this a labour market that lives very special critical, given the weak conditions that characterize both sides: on the one hand, the immigrant family assistant, who often works in scarcely regulated, on the basis of lack of legal transparency and insufficient social protection, on the other family, most often unprepared for the role of employer, which, however, requires a flexible workforce, without time constraints and with absolute availability (Euro, 2010, pp. 25-34), offer that is not reflected in the current range of services provided by the public and private capital. 

What is established is therefore a report that shows all the characteristic traits, given the close relationship between the worker, the elderly and their relatives, which combine elements inevitably, times and places of life and that sometimes triggers the dynamics closer to family than to those employers. Ultimately, a relationship that needs to be regulated, to leave the submerged and gain visibility to the network of local services. 

Scale of the problem: the problem of quantifying 

The difficulty of exact quantification of the number of caregivers working in Australia depends on two factors: the first related to the wide range of irregularity that characterizes this sector, the second to the very nature of the information that the data can record (Care Advice Centre, n.d.). Not exist until recently a contractual formula specifically for caregivers, the available data incorporating the number of domestic workers in the family, making it nearly impossible to distinguish the two ...
