The research

For demographic and economic reasons, eldercare provision regardless of welfare regime is unlikely to be sustainable in the long-term. The economic sustainability of eldercare provision in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe depends on an exploitative labour market for migrants and the care resources in the migrants’ countries of origin. The project is exploring the trends in this issue.

The result, the link of the project so fare made it possible to elaborate a proposal for a NORFACE call.
