| Annotation | The study reported on - Attitudes and behaviour trends towards financial planning for care in old age - was supported by the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) as part of its Economic Beliefs and Behaviour Programme. The authors conducted a survey of attitudes of men and women aged 25-70 towards the increased use of personal financial resources to secure care in older age. Most people believe that the state should take primary responsibility for the provision of older people's care, and that it can afford to do so. Only one of the 102 people interviewed had any long-term care insurance (LTCI); and most expressed reluctance towards the idea. |
