本文分析了公共提供的正式（有偿）家庭护理在多大程度上替代了家人和朋友非正式提供的无偿护理。与之前的大多数研究不同，我们认识到，正式和非正式洞穴的替代组合的选择取决于所选择的居住安排类型，而这些居住安排选择反过来又受到公共提供的正式家庭护理的影响。利用社会实验的数据，我们发现，慷慨的公共家庭护理计划显着增加了未婚者独立生活的可能性，并降低了居住在共享家庭或护理或个人护理中的可能性。护理院。然而，任何替代效应——无论是对生活安排提供非正式护理的直接影响还是由于生活安排变化而产生的间接影响——似乎都很小。
This paper analyzes the extent to which publicly provided formal (paid) home care substitutes for unpaid care provided informally by family and friends, Unlike most previous research, we recognize that the choice among alternative combinations of formal and informal cave depends on the type of living arrangement chosen, and that these living arrangement choices in turn are influenced by the public provision of formal home care, Using data from a social experiment, we find that a generous public home care program significantly increases the probability that unmarried persons will live independently and reduces the probability of living in shared households or in nursing or personal care homes. However, any substitution effects-either direct effects on provision of informal care given living arrangement or indirect effects due to living arrangement changes-appear to be small.
