The Institute deals with the general theoretical foundations of social policy, above all with three fields of research. For each of these research lines, a number of different questions are examined, which are answered with the help of a broad spectrum of social and economic theories and using a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods. In addition, each of the three research lines takes into account three cross-cutting issues in particular: Europe, Gender and Aging.
