“…The introduction of the general minimum wage in 2016 and the more recent specific wage upgrading regulations for the long-term care sector are expected to improve wages in formal long-term care, which, however, assessed against the OECD-Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development-low-wage threshold in 2019, are still very low (Ludwig and Evans 2020, 16). The wage agreement for public care providers reached in December 2020, amounting to a 10 percent increase and granting equal wages for qualified staff in hospitals and nursing homes, points to a clear upward trend (Greß and Stegmüller 2019)-in line with the agreement reached by providers, health and long-term care funds and unions in the Konzertierte Aktion Pflege (Concerted Action for Nursing), jointly initiated and supervised by the Federal Ministry of Health, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, and the Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.…”

This contribution reconstructs the policy shift from a Bismarckian “low road” to a “higher road” of long-term care (LTC) policy in Germany. We argue that this policy change is deeply intertwined with migration to uphold and transform LTC policy. Cash benefits did not just stabilise family care, but are increasingly used to establish a “migrant-in-the-family” model. Moreover, while the marketisation of care services led to an expansion of commercial services, this process increasingly depended on migrant carers. Policy measures to improve working conditions in formal care were only initiated when ever-growing demands could not be met by migrant workers. At the same time live-in arrangements are only cautiously regulated. Reflecting the familialistic legacy, provision of care by women (paid/unpaid, formal/informal, professional/semi-professional) has become more stratified.

“…This is considerably below the median salary of nurses working in hospitals, which ranged from €2939 to €3684 (FTE-adjusted) in the same year depending on their qualification (Carstensen et al 2020). Germany might see a drift of the LTC workforce from the LTC sector to the inpatient sector (Greß and Stegmüller 2020). A higher salary in the inpatient sector, policy reforms to improve the number and working-conditions of nurses in the inpatient sector, and the merger of three separate vocational training systems to one joint scheme are likely to increase the attractiveness of the inpatient sector (Greß and Stegmüller 2020).…”
