Number of PHS workers |
The number of individual PHS workers by year since the introduction of the measure |
- Workers directly employed by households have their own statistical category (NACE 97). The European Union Labour Force Survey (EU LFS) can therefore be used.
- On the other hand, employment in service provider organisations is much harder to locate and measure, as these organisations come from different professional fields and may offer a variety of activities. Most often, these organisations are located in the field of social work activities without accommodation and fall under the category 88 of NACE Rev. 2. For home-based personal and household services, data are imprecise because they are mixed with other activities. For instance, cleaning houses or apartments will fall under NACE 81.21 (General cleaning of buildings) and is therefore mixed with cleaning offices or factories, which is a different type of activity. Private lessons for pupils is part of NACE 85.59 (Other education not elsewhere classified) but mixed with other forms of instruction not given at home. Therefore European Union Labour Force Survey (EU LFS) could not be used to give an overview of the number of persons employed in household services.
- As such, to collect data on the number of workers, it is recommended that the public administration in charge of the measure should collect new administrative data. We recommend that data are collected every year through an obligatory census of all workers in PHS companies. Every year, each company that received a license/certification should provide a full set of information regarding all the workers at the company (PHS workers and administrative employees):
- By profile characteristics (gender, age, nationality, education, region of domicile, etc.)
- By employment characteristics (contracts, employment duration in the system, etc.)
