The ageing of the European population brings new financial risks
that call for state, market and societal responses. In 2011, the
first baby-boom generation is turning 65, and forecasts predict
that the size of the old-age population in need of long-term care
will double in the next 50 years in Europe. However, how different
countries are responding to the challenge of financing long-term
care is still a question open to further examination, including the
role of market development, changing intergenerational contracts
and especially the constraints of state intervention. Growing
long-term care needs in several European countries as well as the
reshaping of traditional modes of care-giving further increase the
pressure for sustainable funding of more comprehensive long-term
care systems. This book examines different forms of partnership and
the potential cooperation of state, market and societal
stakeholders. It not only offers a full understanding of the
institutional responses and mechanisms in place for financing old
age but also provides a deep analysis of both the demand and supply
factors underpinning the development of financial instruments to
cover long-term care needs in Europe.
This is the first book to examine the processes of territorial
federalization and decentralization of health systems in Europe
drawing from an interdisciplinary economics, public policy and
political science approach. It contains key theoretical and
empirical features that allow an understanding of when health care
decentralization is successful.
