Summary

In this part, the focus is on the various new forms of informal care work and their relation to formal care work. In particular, the new semi-formal forms of care (see Chapter One) and the new forms of social integration and citizenship that are constituted by them are also analysed. Through this, it is shown that the relationships between caregiver and care receiver in the private household have also changed, whether they are based on family relations or not. In addition, it will be pointed out that from the European welfare states also new types of social rights with regard to ‘care’ were established. The various contributions analyse the development from an international comparative perspective and highlight common features and differences. It becomes clear that in the framework of differing types of care arrangements, the new forms of informal care work hold different meanings and are used in different ways. With the differences between welfare state regimes also comes a distinction in terms of the quality of social rights that are linked to these forms. It is worked out in what way these new forms of social integration are also related to new forms of migration. On the basis of migration and care work, new forms of social inequality have evolved.
