data (mostly interviews) from ongoing

is shown that parallel to a formal strengthening
of rights in elder care, the status of
citizenship is weakened. This somewhat
paradoxical conclusion is built around
the necessity of distinguishing the formal
status of social rights from the qualitative
aspects of social citizenship. (Less)
