我们研究残疾老年人家庭护理使用的社会经济不平等是否与长期护理(LTC)系统的背景特征有关。具体而言,我们调查如何财富和收入梯度在使用非正式的,正式的,和混合的家庭护理不同的程度,LTC系统提供替代品的家庭作为主要的护理提供者(“去家庭化”)。我们使用来自12个欧洲国家136个行政区域的SHARE的残疾老年人调查数据,并将其与LTC中去家庭化的区域指标联系起来,该指标由护理院中可用的LTC床位数量来衡量。我们使用多项多水平模型,有和没有国家固定效应,研究家庭护理的使用作为个人层面和区域层面的LTC特征的函数。我们将金融财富和收入与LTC床位的数量相互作用,以评估家庭护理使用的社会经济梯度是否因LTC的去家庭化程度而异。我们发现强有力的证据表明,在使用混合护理的社会经济地位的不平等是较低的去家庭化的长期护理系统。在拥有更多长期护理床位的地区,穷人比富人更有可能将联合收割机非正式和正式的家庭护理结合起来使用。社会经济地位的不平等,专门使用非正式或正式的照顾没有不同的程度的去家庭化。结果表明,在LTC的去家庭化有利于社会经济弱势群体之间的正式和非正式的家庭护理相结合,潜在地减轻晚年的健康不平等。
We examine whether socioeconomic inequalities in home-care use among disabled older adults are related to the contextual characteristics of long-term care (LTC) systems. Specifically, we investigate how wealth and income gradients in the use of informal, formal, and mixed home-care vary according to the degree to which LTC systems offer alternatives to families as the main providers of care (“de-familization”). We use survey data from SHARE on disabled older adults from 136 administrative regions in 12 European countries and link them to a regional indicator of de-familization in LTC, measured by the number of available LTC beds in care homes. We use multinomial multilevel models, with and without country fixed-effects, to study home-care use as a function of individual-level and regional-level LTC characteristics. We interact financial wealth and income with the number of LTC beds to assess whether socioeconomic gradients in home-care use differ across regions according to the degree of de-familization in LTC. We find robust evidence that socioeconomic status inequalities in the use of mixed-care are lower in more de-familized LTC systems. Poorer people are more likely than the wealthier to combine informal and formal home-care use in regions with more LTC beds. SES inequalities in the exclusive use of informal or formal care do not differ by the level of de-familization. The results suggest that de-familization in LTC favors the combination of formal and informal home-care among the more socioeconomically disadvantaged, potentially mitigating health inequalities in later life.
