Abstract

In diesem Beitrag werden exemplarisch Fragen aufgeworfen zu einem in der sozialpolitischen Diskussion relativ wenig beachteten Themenfeld, nämlich sozialpolitisch relevanten Faktoren für die Situation im Alter vor allem in dünn besiedelten und strukturschwachen ländlichen Regionen. Der Blick wird dabei insbesondere auf soziale Sicherung im Krankheits- und Pflegefall gerichtet. Zunächst wird als Analyserahmen ein weitgespannter Ressourcenansatz skizziert, der - über das hier erörterte Thema hinaus - Ansatzpunkte für eine disziplinenübergreifende Erörterung von Lebensbedingungen im Alter liefern kann. Sodann wird auf einige spezifisch die ländlichen Räume betreffende sozialpolitische Rahmenbedingungen hingewiesen, zu denen nicht nur typisch sozialpolitische Politikfelder gehören, sondern beispielsweise auch Regional-, Verkehrs- und vor allem Agrarpolitik. Anschließend werden einige allgemeine Fragen der Ausrichtung von Sozialpolitik aufgeworfen, und zwar im Hinblick auf die konzeptionelle Ausrichtung von Kranken- und Pflegeversicherung und mögliche Entwicklungstendenzen für die Einkommenslage in der Altersphase.
