Since 1994, IPERIA has been monitoring occupations and studying the skills of personal carers, family employees, childminders and childcare providers. We have developed a strong expertise, based on feedback from the field and a rigorous forward-looking analysis. This enables us to anticipate changing skill requirements and implement specific actions to meet professional identity and employment challenges in this sector.
Tomorrow, many jobs are likely to disappear or evolve. The sector of individual employment and domestic work is no exception. The professions of personal carer, childcare provider, childminder, and family employee are changing. Skills must adapt to ever-increasing and -changing needs:

We are convinced that our understanding of the past and observation of present trends enables us to anticipate future developments. This is why we monitor jobs, analyze social and societal changes, and assess their impacts on skills and employment.
Our occupational development team and our dedicated department for skills anticipation and qualifications rely on the informed perspective of industry professionals and our partners to define, in collaboration with them, a collective and precise vision of occupations that is regularly adjusted.
This monitoring and anticipation process is essential for professionalization opportunities, regularly updated and expanded, and in line with employees' expectations and individual employers' needs. This process led to the creation of professional qualifications we have been delivering since 2009, and which are core professional competencies.
Our approach takes on different shapes, employs different methods and uses various tools:
In summary, IPERIA is a key player in the professional branch of individual employment and domestic work. To provide the professional sector with expert insight into its occupations, we generate forward-looking data on sector changes. Through this analysis, we strengthen skills via professional development while addressing workforce renewal challenges. With thirty years of experience, we are proud to support the future growth of this essential sector for society.
In 2023, we conducted 6 studies and interviewed 2,000 people as part of our surveys and work.
