In this online petition , citizen Eduardo Ferreira Silva mobilized this action for caregiver assistance due to the observed need to take care of his 88-year-old mother with several health problems.
Both due to age and disability and delicate health condition of the elderly and/or people with disabilities - receiving a low pension, with advanced age and various health complications - came the increased need in the pandemic of approval of Bill 3022/20 that creates caregiver assistance. This would have the value of a minimum wage for the elderly and/or disabled person who needs third parties to carry out the activities, ensuring financial resources for hiring these professionals and seeking to mitigate the effects of the care crisis experienced with the increase in the average age of the population and the advancement of neoliberal economic policies.
The petition mobilized more than 160,000 supporters and the bill that has not yet been voted on in the House has more than 900 supporters, or just 0.61% of the petition's supporters.
