The overall aim of the OpenCare initiative is to address gender stereotypes by encouraging the involvement of men in formal long-term care (LTC) work. This not only promotes gender equality but also contributes to increasing the availability of LTC services by responding to the current shortage of care staff. Tackling this shortage is essential for supporting work-life balance for both men and women.
OpenCare seeks to challenge the barriers men face in accessing and staying in LTC roles, while actively working to make the sector more inclusive and representative.
