Research interests
My research deals with social problems, inequalities and wellbeing caused by digitalization and robotization. I have studied widely the impacts of digitalisation on family relationships, older adults’ everyday life and service use in welfare societies. In addition, research intrests relate to the impacts of digitalization on aged care.
