The realisation of the right to care of senior citizens in situations of welfare dependency: a qualitative study

In this project, qualitative research is used to examine how the right to care of senior citizens in situations of welfare dependency is realised. The theoretical contribution is situated in relation to contractarian and solidaristic approaches to welfare rights and serves to explore the complex interrelations between senior citizens as the recipients of care, and formal and informal caregivers.
