The report was prepared within the SOWELL project focused on social dialogue in care services and co-financed by the European Commission DG Employment, Social Inclusion &Affairs (VS/2020/0242). The report presents the Slovak employment relations, working conditions and social partner strategies in care services, concentrating on two sectors: care services for children aged 0-5 (ECEC) and social and health services for the elderly people (LTC). The report, based on extensive desk research, analysis of the dataset and interviews with the stakeholders, maps the employment, governance and industrial relations in ECEC and LTC to respond to two research questions: a) How did Slovakia balance the pressures of budget constraints, service coverage, job quality and quality of services in ECEC and LTC, the so-called ‘quadrilemma’? and b) What role do the social partners and social dialogue institutions play in favour of some solutions of care provision instead of others?
