Summary, etc Caring for the carers is not only a policy challenge for the government but also a global concern to achieve gender equality by restructuring welfare for care. Paying informal carers is one of the measures that address their needs, which is being practiced in Western countries for more than 10 years now. Financial support for care does not only value the contribution of carers but also compensate for the loss of carers caused by unpaid care duties. However, cash for care is a complex issue because it is located within a number of different policy domains that may be considered controversial. This study discusses the views of carers on cash allowance and identifies issues affecting the support provided to the informal care system in Hong Kong. The discussion is based on the findings from the focus group interviews with 11 groups of carers with different socioeconomic backgrounds.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc 關愛看護者不只是對本地政府的政策挑戰,更是一個環球關注,同時是透過重建看護福利達至追求性別平等的議題。向看護者提供金錢非正式資助是其中一種顯示他們需要的方式,此方法在西方國家已實行超過10年。財政上的支持,不只代表對看護者貢獻的價值,更是補償他們因無償看護工作而造成的損失。然而,現金對看護資助是一個復雜的議題,因為牽涉多個不同可能被視為具爭議的政策領域。本次研究探討看護者對現金津貼,並確認出影響對香港非正式看護系統支持的議題。研究討論是基於與11組來自不同社會經濟背景看護者的焦點小組訪談。
