The Flemish care sector will receive 577 million euros extra: up to 6 percent more wages for staff of residential care centers

The Flemish government and the social partners have agreed that, among others, the staff of Flemish residential care centers, psychiatric care homes and rehabilitation centers will receive on average 6 percent extra purchasing power. In this way they keep up with the hospital staff, who previously received an extra 6 percent.

For home care, youth care and childcare, an average of 4.5 percent is added. And for employees of custom-made companies and the socio-cultural sector, purchasing power will increase by 1.1 percent in the coming years.

All these wage increases, in all about 180,000 employees, will take effect from January 1. That is 6 months earlier than originally planned.
