Accountable Care and Employment
In order to establish options for reconciling the care of a relative with employment, the BMBFSFJ has established an independent board of advisers, which began its 3rd term of office in September. Deputy Chair of the Independent Advisory Board on Work-Care Reconciliation is Adjunct Teacher Christian Deindl from TU Dortmund University, who performs research study on the sociology of family, health, and life course. The advisory board consists of 21 members in total, selected by the ministry, and consists of academics, political leaders, in addition to representatives of interest groups, trade unions, employers, welfare associations, and insurance providers.
During their five-year term of workplace, the members serve on an honorary basis and set their own concerns. In working groups, they engage with present research studies and literature, go over solutions, and develop strategies. In addition, they accompany the execution of appropriate legal guidelines and provide advice on the effects of existing legislation.
