Average monthly family expenditure for home care workers in Italy 2021

Many families in Italy resort to professional help for performing certain tasks at home. According to a survey carried out among a sample of these families, their monthly expenditure on these services was relatively high. This statistic shows average family expenditure on home care professionals per month, highlighting differences in terms of type of professions employed and household characteristics. In particular, elderly caregivers proved to be the highest financial burden for families, with an average expenditure of approximately 1.2 thousand euros per month, which grew to over 1.4 thousand euros in the case of multiple caregivers employed by the same household. This finding might be explained by the fact that the majority of caregivers in Italy had a live-in type of work arrangement.
