INFORMELE ZORG VLAANDEREN
Statistical study of various informal forms of care among Flemish people aged 18 and older
From until
What
A survey about informal care in Flanders.
Goal
The central purpose of this research is to obtain a recurring numerical image of various informal care forms among Flemish people aged 18 and older. To establish changes over time, it is intended to repeat this survey research every 4 to 5 years.
We focus on informal care as a process, which means that we map both the determinants of providing and receiving (potential) informal help, the current practices, and consequences.
Our role
Our role in the project is that of co-promoter due to our expertise in informal care and caring neighborhoods. The project is led by UA, other co-promoters are HOGent and KULeuven. The research is part of the Steunpunt WVG of which Thomas More is a partner.
