Intergenerational solidarity, social institutions and self-help strategies. Comparison between German and British natives and migrants from Turkey and Cyprus

Objective



The proposed project will compare two European majority and minority communities, Germans and Britains and Greeks Cypriots and Turks, in terms of their respective networks and family support relations in order to disentangle underlying effects of ageing, gender and ethnicity. Little is known to date about ethnic minority ageing in comparison to mainstream cultures, about differences in access and barrier to formal and informal service provision. Likewise, the development and transfer of normative orientations of family closeness accross generations and the assignment of kin work in a life course perspective have not been investigated accross different welfare regimes. In this context an analysis of farnily and community networks and self-help strategies of older people is indispensible as an input to social policies which can combat social exclusion on an European level.
