| Annotation | The development of a new market in long-term care insurance raises questions about the ability and willingness of younger people to protect themselves against care needs in old age, about the impact of such change would have on intergenerational responsibility and transfers, and, most fundamentally, about the relationship between the individual, the family and the state. In this paper, the authors review the policy and socio-economic contexts within which these developments are taking place, and describe the development of the market for and of long-term care insurance. They review the potential usefulness of long-term care insurance in the future. |
