This policy brief (7 pages) argues for the need for all countries to invest in and implement well-structured long-term care systems. It advocates for a public policy shift to enable greater access to long-term care services and thereby lessen financial hardship and elevate living standards for older adults and their caregivers.
The brief draws on statistical data and recent research on how long-term care affects the financial situation of families in Europe.
