All countries represented in the project – Germany, Austria, Italy, and Poland – display a high degree of undeclared and illegal employment in the households of the elderly. Therefore, important stakeholders on national, regional and local levels should be made aware of the opportunities offered by proven labour market concepts and measures for reduction of illegal and undeclared work in their own countries. The project aims to initiate discourses on possible national implementation of pertinent labour market measures in all above mentioned countries. The insights from the selected countries will be reviewed systematically and communicated to the EU level, in order to make the solution strategies available to other Member States also affected by high levels of undeclared and illegal employment.
