Long Term Care – A European Perspective

Management & Operations

Producer: Peter Goldstein

Speakers: Wilma de Bruijn; Frederik Fernhout

Population aging is a key common challenge to the sustainability of long-term care systems in Europe in the medium to longer-term perspective. With rising life expectancy, more people are likely to reach an age where declining physical and mental health make them dependent on help from others. At the same time, the pool of family carers is shrinking due to families having fewer children, rising female employment and increasing pensionable ages.

Whilst most European citizens are relying on their government to provide them with affordable long-term care of good quality, in particular home-care and community-based services, funding of these services becomes more problematic against a backdrop of aging population.  During his presentation, presenters will address how the partners of Eurapco, a friendly alliance of 8 independent mutual insurers in Europe, are currently tackling the challenges in long-term care.
