To assess the effectiveness of the measure, it is necessary to select the objectives that are intended to be fulfilled through the PHS measures. As a reminder, the following generic objectives have been identified:

• Objective 1 : Employment creation
• Objective 2 : Reducing undeclared work
• Objective 3 : Fostering and developing PHS activities
• Objective 4 : Improving access to childcare (including ECEC)
• Objective 5 : Improving access to elderly/long term care
• Objective 6 : Gender equality and better work-life balance for users
• Objective 7: Better working conditions and health and safety provisions for PHS workers

In this chapter, we present, for each of the possible objectives, the indicators needed to assess the effectiveness of the measure. This description includes a brief explanation of the indicators and the sources that exist (or that have to be developed) in order to collect this data.
