Abstract
Many European countries have promoted the development of household services in order to foster employment, particularly among the least skilled. France has been a pioneer in this field (Chapter 2) and is also the country where public support of household services has been the most consequential. Besides job creation, France’s policy has also explicitly aimed at responding to social needs, by subsidising the consumption of child- and eldercare home services.
