text: Eurofound has analysed the working conditions in**long-term care (or LTC)**, that is, the support and 
  care for a long-term or permanent care receiver, not only for some days or weeks to overcome a specific 
  short-term emergency.91 They summarise: 
  
  •*LTC workers often report that they do not believe they will be able to keep working until the age*
  *of 60.*
  
  •*LTC workers often do shift work, in particular rotating shifts, and feel that they have no say in*
  *their working arrangements; they are often requested to come to work at short notice. Evening,*
  *night and weekend work is particularly frequent in residential LTC.*
  
  •*Two* *fifths (40%) of LTC workers report lifting or moving people more than three* *quarters of the*
  *time (compared with 5% of all workers and 23% in healthcare).*

  **Live-in care**is a special form where the carer lives permanently in the house or flat of the care receiver. 
  Eurostat data are not available but national estimates are available for some countries; the estimate for 
  Italy is 160,000 and for Germany 300,000. 92 
  
  Overviews of the quantity of**ICT-based mobile work**93 demonstrate that such schemes exist in many 
  enterprises and workplaces, particularly for clerical, managerial and professional tasks. For a large 
  share of clerical workers, it has become — latest with the push of the 2020/2021 pandemic — a usual 
  way of working. The highest proportions of workers with arrangements for ICT mobile work are found 
  int the following sectors: information and communication (57% of workers in the sector), followed by 
  professional and scientific activities (53%), financial services (43%), real estate (43%) and public 
  administration (30%).
