Balancing studies or vocational training with the responsibility of supporting or caring for a relative or friend requires remarkable organizational skills. A new study at Goethe University aims to better understand this reality – and is now seeking participants: both young people in education or training, as well as the individuals they provide support or care for.
How can education and caregiving be combined? What challenges does this dual role create? And what can be done to improve the situation of young people who take on such responsibilities? These are the questions driving the “InterCare” research project, led by sociologist Dr. Anna Wanka.
The study is looking for both young people aged 18–30 who are enrolled in university, training, or further education and at the same time provide support or care for an older person, as well as individuals who receive such support or care and are at least 20 years older than their caregiver.
If you would like to share your experiences and contribute to the study, please contact Dr. Anna Wanka at wanka@em.uni-frankfurt.de.
