Contract notice: 20032 survey informal care in flanders. Social and demographic changes increase the importance attached to informal care from a policy point of view. Informal care can be understood as all care and support that is not provided by professionals and is not reimbursed as professional labor. An important recent policy initiative was the launch of the first Flemish informal care plan (2016-2020). The coalition agreement confirms the further rollout and evaluation of this plan and the need for further research into informal care in the Flemish Region in order to be able to adjust the informal care policy. The central aim of this research is to obtain a numerical picture of different informal forms of care in people aged 18 and older with their main residence in the Flemish Region. The contractor is asked to be responsible for the fieldwork in the context of the survey to be carried out. It concerns a mixed mode survey (postal survey and online survey) of 21,095 inhabitants of the Flemish Region. The sample will be stratified by age. The strata are defined in three age groups: 18-25 years, 26-64 years and 65 years and older. These addresses are divided over the three strata as follows: - 11,000 addresses from the 18-24 year group - 5 029 addresses from the group 25-64j, - 5 067 addresses from the age group 65 and older The contractor will organize a pilot study prior to the main survey. This pilot survey will consist of 210 persons (these are not from the National Register).
