Responsible Care and Work
In order to develop solutions for reconciling the care of a relative with employment, the BMBFSFJ has actually established an independent board of advisers, which started its 3rd term of workplace in September. Deputy Chair of the Independent Advisory Board on Work-Care Reconciliation is Accessory Teacher Christian Deindl from TU Dortmund University, who conducts research on the sociology of family, health, and life course. The board of advisers consists of 21 members in total, selected by the ministry, and includes academics, politicians, in addition to agents of interest groups, trade unions, companies, welfare associations, and insurance coverage suppliers.
Throughout their five-year term of workplace, the members serve on an honorary basis and set their own top priorities. In working groups, they engage with current research studies and literature, talk about services, and develop courses of action. In addition, they accompany the execution of appropriate legal policies and supply guidance on the results of existing legislation.
