Doctoral thesis:

Images of age and aging among representatives of the health and social services and the needs of different groups of older migrants (working title)

On the one hand Germany is becoming ever “greyer”. On the other hand the demographically aging population is becoming ever more colourful, that is ever more heterogeneous, in terms of origin. Currently migrants over the age of 60 are one of the fastest-growing sectors of the population.

The study plans to explore the extent to which out-patient health and social services meet the social, lifeworld and health needs of this target group with respect to maintaining autonomy in cases of multi-morbidity. It also aims to identify aspects of the (re-)production of social inequality in health care and reveal the mechanisms connected with this.

Interviews will be used to reconstruct the images of age and ageing on which professionals base their practice. Secondary literature will then be used to compare these with the ideas and wishes of migrants about their own old age and examine how these match. Finally, the socio-historical context from which professionals take their ideas and models of age and ageing will be examined by analysing the metaphors used in the interview material to discern collective orientation patterns or overlaps with dominant constitutive discourses.
