| Annotation | This report on social care for older people and children in Europe is part of a comparative project, "Social security in Europe". The report focuses on policy objectives of social care and cash benefits as regards target groups, criteria of eligibility, standard, and policy preferences; whether benefit is governed centrally, regionally or locally; financing of benefits; and provision of benefits in kind. Developments in seven countries - Denmark, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, England, France and Germany - are outlined as follows: history of care; financing; provision; organisation; caring for children; social services for older people; and developments and changes, 1982-1996. An appendix provides more detailed tables of expenditure and numbers of recipients. (RH). |
