| Research interests | My research focuses on the ongoing changes in the care service for older people in Finland. Specifically, I am investigating various aspects related to care policy, inequality, care poverty, unmet care needs, the marketization of care, and service utilization. Additionally, I am focusing on the working conditions of care workers in long-term care. |
