Cele badawcze
The collaborative research project CareOrg investigates transnational senior care work from and within Central and Eastern Europe. Our main idea is to develop tools to understand and theorize emerging transnational care markets and identify solutions for sustainable and decent care work in Europe.
We focus on sending and transit countries of Central and Eastern Europe
We shift the academic focus towards a discussion of the meso-level organization of care by empirically investigating it through five topic-oriented case studies
We map and analyze current and future patterns of commodification, marketization, transnationalization, professionalization, and digitalization of senior care
We formulate policy recommendations and feed into public and professional debate on decent care work and sustainable long-term care solutions within an asymmetrical Europe

O Projekcie
Given demographic, political, and social developments, the demand for transnational senior care services will continue to grow across Europe. Fueled by economic inequalities in Europe, transnational senior care would seem to provide a perfect solution to the reproductive crisis facing many countries while also providing benefits for welfare states, labor markets, and households. However, a question mark hangs over its sustainability.
Research into global care work has identified contradictions between accessible care as a right, and the commodification of care, which is primarily oriented towards marketability and profitability.
CareOrg is going to use this tension as a starting point but will push the debate by foregrounding the under-researched and under-theorized meso-level.

How Can We Help?
CareOrg addresses the care drain and care chains by foregrounding the infrastructure by means of which care workers enter the labor markets of receiving countries, and at the same time by looking at the transformations in senior care in the sending countries.
