摘要：In this article, we analyse the role exclusion plays in three theories explainingthe provision of informal care for the elderly: norms and roles(sociological institutionalism), the availability and accessibility of formalcare (rational choice institutionalism) and concerns about balancing timeand money (rational choice theory). Feeding into the discussion on agencyin old-age exclusion literature, we argue that exclusion shapes informalcare provision in all three theories: social exclusion enforces norms, civicexclusion hinders appropriate formal care provision and economic exclusionreduces the opportunity costs of informal care. Hence, exclusionstructures positions and power relations in care negotiation processes. Thestudy shows that exclusion should not only be analysed as an outcome butalso as a force shaping the life conditions of older people. The argumentis supported using data from qualitative interviews with stakeholders ininformal elder care in a Turkish immigrant community in Belgium. Intersectionsof gender, generation and migration status are taken into account.
