Eldicare 2.0
Eldicare 2.0 is the continuation of the Sector Skills Alliance project “Eldicare: Matching Skills in a growing European Silver Economy”, which has been implemented from 2018 to 2021, also coordinated by AKMI S.A. Eldicare had a great impact for the elderly care sector, however the COVID-19 outbreak affected both the project activities and the elderly care sector. Thus, a new synergy, focused on the post-COVID era and the EC goals related to digitalization, green transition, entrepreneurial and soft skills of caregivers was decided to be developed.
In particular, more than the one fifth of the EU population in 2021, was over 65 years old. The higher life expectancy rates along with the low birth rates in Europe, are contributing to a change in the shape of the EU’s age pyramid. As EU population is growing older constantly, gradually more and more people become frail and dependent on affordable, preventive and curative long-term care. However, the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on older people – in terms of hospitalisations and deaths – has highlighted some of the challenges an ageing population poses on health and social care, proving that the long-term care sector was generally ill-prepared to tackle a health emergency of such dimension, as COVID-19.
