Collaboration Short Description:
Our research is aligned with EMERGE´s mission of empowering marginal communities through regional engagement and social innovation. I am particularly interested in:
Socioeconomic impacts of ageing populations, specifically the implications for care provision, public policies, and social support systems in rural regions.
Social organization of care services, focusing on community-based models and intergenerational support networks.
Community-driven care models, exploring innovative practices and policies to enhance local capacities in supporting elderly populations.
Loneliness and social isolation, analyzing their prevalence and consequences within rural ageing communities.
Economic and social dimensions of ageing, exploring sustainable strategies for community development in peripheral regions.
