On 31 October 2017, Dr. Marijke De Pauw will participate in the expert workshop of the research project “Towards a rights-based approach to long-term care in Europe: Building an Index of rights-based policies for older people”. The aim of the project is primarily to develop a conceptual framework for a rights-based approach to long-term care, create an index that comprehensively captures such a rights-based approach, and to pilot the index by analysing and comparing the results for a select group of European countries. The workshop will be hosted by the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research in Vienna, Austria.
