Meal planning in retirement

The research project focuses on the gender-specific negotiation processes of the domestic division of labour in the context of food provision in older couples.
The overarching goal of the project is therefore to identify conditions and starting points for a gender-equitable organisation of housework among older couples and to gain insights into the everyday eating life of older people beyond stereotypical gender role expectations.
Methodologically, an explorative approach using qualitative, guided interviews and a group discussion with couples in the post-acquisition phase is chosen.
