| Annotation | This special issue features a guest editorial followed by eleven articles which focus on how different European countries are responding to the challenge of home care in the context of an ageing society. Each article analyses national policies and experiences of reforming home care for older and disabled people, and identifies some of the resulting tensions that characterise the country in question. Topics covered are as follows: the struggle between universalism and cost containment in the Netherlands; the impact of introducing a cash-for-care scheme in France; quality reform in Danish home care; payment for home care in Italy; cash-for-care and the impact of migrant care in Austria; home-based care provision within the German welfare mix; Norwegian home care in transition; home care and under-funding in England; Swedish home care in transition; ambiguity in Irish home care policy; and the retargeting of home care services in Finland.
