A budget of 300.000€ is reserved for a Belgian researcher (or a group of Belgian researchers - from the same research center or from different institutions) that will apply to the call. The call is centred on the problem of labour force shortages in the long-term care sector. To address this issue, we want to fund research on three interrelated aspects of the labour force shortages in the LTC sector within the framework of demographic change, ageing and care of older people. These are: ‘Working situation’, ‘Role of AI’ and ‘Cross-national differences and similarities within different welfare systems‘. Proposals must address all three research topics, paying particular attention to cross-cutting issues of gender, ethnicity, and social inclusion. Proposals should include the perspective of care givers as well as those receiving care. Overall, we are interested in research that goes beyond only the mapping of issues described and instead proposes practical solutions informing policymak
