Horizon
COZZ participates within a consortium led by the Belgian research organization, Bewingen, for the INVOLVE project, which is funded by the European Commission Horizons program, and which runs from January 2023 to December 2026, involving focus group research and interviews with workers in the Poland care sector. COZZ has carried out 12 focus groups with older women care-sector workers; we also have provided in-depth analysis and social research; it also relayed key messages and policy recommendations to the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection and to employers and the sector union. The research findings have been a valuable input to workers’ efforts at Emeis toward collective bargaining for better wages and working conditions.
