OECD

Social Protection in Old Age

In their Health Working Paper series, the OECD strives to make health studies which had been prepared for policy advice within the OECD available to a wider audience. The 2020 working paper Nr. 117 puts a focus on the increasing demand of long-term care and its associated challenges, especially the financial risks long-term care can bear. The report makes use of SHARE data to investige cross-country and regional variations in long-term care and complements it with information about costs of care services, the degree of pulic coverage and more. The special policy relevance of the report arises from a simulation of the distributive effects of actual and hypothetical policy scenarios and possible reforms.
