Chapter 4 in The Economics of Long-term Care, 2026, pp 45-85 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines public policies aimed at supporting financially and socially vulnerable elderly individuals—specifically, those without family networks or sufficient resources. These policies integrate market mechanisms with family-based resources to construct a comprehensive framework of care for the dependent elderly. It first focuses on a normative utilitarian perspective and later departs from this setting.
