Abstract:
To give men and women with caring responsibilities a better chance of staying in work, every worker
should be entitled to five working days' carer's leave a year. Member States may decide that such leave may be
taken in periods of one or more working days, on a case-by-case basis. To take account of different national
systems, Member States should be able to allocate carer leave using a reference period other than one year
depending on the person who needs care or support or on a case-by-case basis. A continued increase in care
needs due to an aging population is expected, and a corresponding increase in the prevalence of age-related
impairments is expected. Member States should take into account increasing care needs when developing their
care policies, including carer leave.
