“…In line with the literature, which stresses the importance of competencies as a key element of professionalisation (Abbott and Meerabeau, 1998;Clergeau and Dussuet, 2005;Ribault, 2008), the care providers that I have interviewed highlight the question of competencies as a core concern in their daily work.…”

PurposeThe objective is to explore how the professionalisation of care jobs is constructed in the public and private sectors and to discuss whether the instruments used by public and private care providers contribute to solve the ambiguities linked to this type of work and which are the consequences for caregivers.Design/methodology/approachThis paper compares the way in which the professionalisation of home care services for elderly people is achieved in the public and private sectors in the region of Brussels. The findings are based on the analysis of interviews with professional actors working in the care sector in Brussels.FindingsThe analysis shows that there is no agreement over the best way of professionalising home care services for the elderly and that the efforts made by public and private providers are profoundly different.Originality/valueThe divergencies are not only the result of the strict institutional framework to which public care providers are bound, in opposition to the relative freedom of the private sector, but they also derive from a different understanding of care work.

“…Before the introduction of the APA, employment conditions for paid home-based caregivers corresponded to gender norms in work; these activities were mostly carried out by women, working part-time and poorly paid (Avril, 2014;. Since the context following the APA's introduction was characterised by an increasing demand for the APA, combined with austerity constraints, the employment conditions of paid caregivers did not change much, even though regulations applying to paid care jobs were modified at the beginning of the 2000s (Clergeau & Dussuet, 2005;Devetter, Jany-Catrice, Ribault, Fraisse, & Gardin, 2008).…”

Care realities are characterised by important differences between men and women. At the end of the 1990s, women were overrepresented among the oldest sections of the French population, as well as among their unpaid and paid helpers. Nevertheless, when the current national benefit scheme for elderly people needing long-term care (the APA (Allocation Personnalisée d'Autonomie)) was adopted in France, it was not explicitly framed with gender issues in mind. French subnational governments (the départements) were charged with implementing the new scheme, but also have the capacity to transform it. How has this policy been applied on the ground and with which gender-related effects? In order to answer this question, this article draws on 33 interviews and several observations conducted with street-level bureaucrats in charge of implementing the APA in a French département. Through streetlevel organisation analysis, frame analysis and discursive institutionalism, it analyses how subnational governments and street-level bureaucrats use their room for manoeuvre in policy implementation, and the frames they use to take decisions. Special attention is given to the implications of these frames from a gender perspective. This article explores three different dimensions of this issue: (1) the discursive frames attached to the APA at national and subnational organisational levels; (2) the way street-level bureaucrats perceive institutional constraints and resources, and interpret their work, and how the gender implications of these frames influence the decisions they make in practice; and (3) the consequences of administrative decisions for the public affected by them.

“…Mais ce n'est qu'en 2002 qu'un accord de branche est intervenu. Il distinguait des degrés de complexité des interventions en les liant strictement à des niveaux de diplôme détenus ; il devait ainsi permettre aux salariées diplômées d'accéder à un niveau de rémunération substantiellement plus élevé que celui des salariées non formées (Clergeau, Dussuet, 2005). Mais les mesures du plan Borloo de développement des services aux personnes À l'inverse, l'activité des informatrices juridiques du CIDFF n'est pas réglementée.…”
