| Annotation | The equity focus of this study is on equity as a social policy objective: how public policies interfere in long-term care systems by providing, financing, and regulating long-term care in terms of equity. The theoretical objective is to contribute to the understanding of the rules and interpretations of equity as regards long-term care. The empirical aim is to map and systematically compare long-term care policies in Europe (particularly in Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK) with respect to equity choices. The results are contrasted with welfare state objectives and discussed in a broader welfare state context. (RH). |
