Einsamkeit im Alter
摘要
Loneliness is a phenomenon that has increased particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic and is now increasingly receiving public attention as a social problem. Loneliness, understood as a socio-emotional phenomenon, is situated biographically and in the context of life situations. The article focuses on older labour migrants, linking specific life situations and biographies with the context of migration regions. This concept can be used to identify both risk and protective factors for a population group, which form reference points for social work action. Following on from this, the final section presents an offer of open support for the elderly.
