TITEL: Ludovico Carrino: Vulnerability and Long-Term
Care in Europe: an economic perspective
Abstract:
This
presentation discusses and documents the policy relevance of
long-term care (LTC) insurance by offering novel insights as to
the institutional arrangements prevailing in Europe. A first
crucial step is to describe and measure vulnerability, analyse
eligibility conditions and estimate the degree of potential LTC
coverage. We provide a detailed taxonomy of the forms of public
coverage existing in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, England,
France, Germany, Italy and Spain, and address the substantial
differences existing across Europe in the definition of the
target population in need-of-LTC due to a reduced degree of
physical or cognitive capacity. A striking feature of most
public LTC systems is that they are extremely fragmented and
show a significant variability of benefits and provisions even
at a local level. We document the efficacy of the different
long-term care provisions in different institutional contexts,
and simulate 'counterfactual' regimes. In particular, we
estimate comparable measures of potential coverage for specific
LTC systems, disentangling the population effect from the
regulation effect in the different countries. Our applied
analysis exploits information from large surveys representative
of the European population age 50 and over, such as ELSA
(English Longitudinal Study on Ageing) and SHARE (Survey of
Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe). Our work makes two
substantial contributions: we estimate the potential coverage
rates results from country specific definitions of vulnerability
without imposing a priori criteria; second, we use micro-data to
control for the different epidemiologic characteristics of the
population in different European countries.
