  • Summary

    This chapter explores methods of financing long-term care. These include public financing, which involves government-managed programs funded through taxation and social insurance schemes, and private financing, which includes out-of-pocket payments and family contributions. The chapter also considers how resources are pooled and allocated, as well as policy decisions regarding public care coverage and financial protection. Short case studies illustrate the practical functioning of different financing models. Finally, the chapter considers the evolution of long-term care expenditure in the context of an ageing population.
