Long-term care is an increasingly important issue in many
contemporary welfare states around the globe given ageing
populations. This ground-breaking book provides detailed case
studies of 11 EU-member states' welfare regimes within Europe to
show how welfare states organize, structures and deliver long-term
care and whether there is a social investment perspective in the
delivery of long-term care. This perspective is important because
the effect of demographic transitions is often used as an argument
for the existence of economic pressure on welfare states and a need
for either direct retrenchment or attempts to reduce welfare state
spending. The book's chapters will look specifically into how
different welfare states have focussed on long-term care in recent
years and what type of changes have taken place with regard to
ageing populations and ambitions to curb increases in public sector
spending in this area. They describe the development in long-term
care for the elderly after the financial crisis and also discuss
the boundaries between state and civil society in the different
welfare states' approaches to the delivery of care.
