Project Duration: 2015 - 2017
The project examines the changing understanding of the responsibility for care and the impact this has on the current configurations of elderly care in the Czech Republic. It aims to analyse the forms and implications of monetary transfers at the intersection of formal and informal elderly care, especially in the context of the market and public support for and funding of informal care, 10 years after the introduction of the attendance allowance paid to care recipients. The project will thus contribute to the theories of care that focus on the distribution of care responsibility and configuration of care practices amidst the broader socio-economic changes in late modern society.
