PROJECTS
Upwards solidarity: caring for the elderly
Questions will be addressed such as:
- should upwards financial care (maintenance obligations) be maintained?
- should upwards non-financial care be obliged in family law or in social security law?
- if informal care should be compensated in family law, which techniques (such as alimony or personal or property claims upon separation or death) should then be used?
In a first stage, these questions will be researched on our first international expert seminar. The output of this will be an edited volume.
Coordinators: prof. dr. Elisabeth Alofs and prof. dr. Wendy Schrama
