平均而言，欧洲人的寿命更长，健康状况也更好。然而，尽管如此，不同社会经济群体之间正在出现很大程度的健康不平等。需求评估程序和资格规则确定了“需要护理”的目标人群，是老年人获得实物或现金家庭护理福利的必经之路。在这种情况下，正规长期护理的经济意义一直在增加，估计今后几十年需要长期护理的依赖护理的老年人的比率将会增加。本书作者比较了来自SHARE（欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查）和ELSA（英国老龄化纵向研究）的微观数据，这些数据横跨奥地利、比利时、捷克共和国、法国、德国、意大利、西班牙和英国的英格兰和威尔士，这些地区的资格规则是护理盲的。他们批判性地回顾了欧洲的长期护理法规，提供了脆弱性评估和资格标准的角色和特征的详细分类。这本书是感兴趣的学者在卫生经济学和社会政策，管理人员在卫生部门，政策制定者和专业人士感兴趣的设计，实施和长期护理政策的评估。它还可用于支持老龄化、卫生经济学和政策评价等领域的不同课程。
On average, people in Europe are living longer, and are in better health. Despite this, however, a significant degree of health inequality is emerging among different socioeconomic groups. Assessment-of-need procedures and eligibility rules define the target population in ‘need-of-care’, and represent a compulsory gateway for olderadults in order to receive home-care benefits, either in-kind or in-cash. In this context, the economic relevance of formal long-term care has been growing and the rates of care-dependent older people in need of long-term care are estimated to increase in the forthcoming decades. The authors of this volume compare micro-data from SHARE (the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) and ELSA (the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing) across Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom’s England and Wales, where eligibility rules are care-blind. They critically review long-term care regulations in Europe, offering a detailed taxonomy of the role and the characteristics of vulnerability-evaluations and eligibility criteria. This book is of interest to academics in health economics and social policy, managers in the health sector, policy makers and professionals interested in the design, implementation and evaluation of long-term care policies. It could also be used to support different courses in the fields of ageing, health economics and policy evaluation.
