The number of people in need of care, particularly for the elderly and those who are ill, is growing and with it the need for paid care work. Despite this increase in demand, employment in the home care sector remains precarious, characterized by poor pay and little job security. This research project has two objectives: first, to conduct a standardized survey to better understand the living situation and motivation of migrants working in this sector in Germany, particularly in the greater Berlin area; and second, to test the “Respondent-Driven Sampling” (RDS survey method), which is not yet well-established in Germany.

The Covid-19 pandemic and the associated measures to contain the virus led to major changes in the world of work and created particular challenges for parents. As part of a joint project with the Institute of Economic and Social Research of the Hans Böckler Foundation (WSI), we are examining the medium- and long-term gender-specific effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on employment, income, and careers. While the research team at the WSI analyses observational data from the HBS Employment Survey and the IAB-PASS, the research team at the WZB is focusing on the collection and analysis of experimental data.
