The central topic of the department is the informal care provided within families in private households . This form of care is predominant in Germany and Europe (Statistisches Bundesamt (Destatis) 2022, European Commission 2021).
By incorporating pluralistic methods and specialist disciplines, we identify heterogeneous, individual needs and living situations in domestic care arrangements as well as recurring, typical need scenarios.
A further focus of our work lies in capturing and analysing existing and new data sources in the field of ageing, care and digitalisation, in particular secondary analyses of large-scale population surveys and routine data from care and pension insurance.
In addition, we are investigating the individual and social aspects of (non-)utilisation of support services and how socio-economic, socio-psychological and socio-cultural factors promote certain forms of support or tend to lead to their rejection.
Our guiding principle is to focus on the actual needs of the target groups for digital technologies in the area of ageing and care, which are often characterised by a technology-driven approach (see Braeseke et al. 2022; Kricheldorff 2020; Hoff and Pottharst 2023; Sala-González et al. 2021; Künemund 2015; Elsbernd et al. 2014). In this context, we also specialise in the social and psychological prerequisites for digitalisation.
Transferring our research results into practice, politics and society can contribute to the further development of all forms and the suitability of support services for informal care that focuses on the target group.
