Migrant Live‐In Care Workers in the Global Care Chain
High‐income countries are using migrant care workers to address deficiencies in domestic care, thereby creating new care gaps in their countries of origin. Apart from this, care workers often face challenging working conditions in many countries. This article examines the job profile, needs, and training preferences of migrant live‐in care workers in Austria to inform improvements to their working and living conditions. As part of a transdiscipli…
Nonkin Carers’ Roles and Contributions to the Support of Older People Living Alone
Our study highlights the diversity of nonkin support in the support arrangements of older people living alone. This heterogeneity should be considered by policy-makers when promoting informal care and designing policy measures
Under reconstruction
The Austrian government introduced in spring 2020 COVID-19 containment policies that had various impacts on older people living alone (OPLA) and their care arrangements.

We offer a set of reflections from six end-of-life care studies conducted with older people in four European countries: Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The reflection process was informed by four full-day meetings between the authors an…
