Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality
Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Helen Russell:
I take the point on State supports for caring and valuing care. It is extremely important. One of the issues we did not mention was supports for re-entering the workforce. People do take a break for caring and there should be systems in place so they can re-enter. We have been having a debate for 20 years about training supports not being geared towards re-entrance to the labour market.
