  • Summary

    The aim of this chapter is to illustrate how a robust long-term care system can positively influence the overall wellbeing of society, extending beyond the individual receiving care. Since the primary recipients of long-term care are often older or disabled individuals, it is sometimes viewed as a costly burden on society rather than an investment in the public interest or the common good. This chapter seeks to challenge such perceptions by emphasizing the positive and proactive social impact of a strong long-term care system on society as a whole. By highlighting these arguments, the chapter aims to provide further justification for countries to invest in their long-term care systems.
