This book analyses the features and developments of long–term care, and its political reform agendas, in Europe. Each chapter focuses on a key question in the policy debate and offers a description and analysis of the different systems. Comparatively less studied countries, such as Eastern Europe, Italy, France and Spain are compared with reform practices in Germany, the UK, Netherlands and Sweden. Contents include: long-term care: a suitable case for social insurance; the long road to universalism, recent developments in the financing of long-term care in England; reforming long-term care policy in France: private–public complementarities; sustainability of comprehensive universal long-term care insurance in the Netherlands; social insurance for long-term care: an evaluation of the German model; long-term care in central and south-eastern Europe: challenges and perspectives in addressing a ‘new’ social risk; devolution, diversity and welfare reform: long-term care in the ‘Latin rim’; one uniform welfare state or a multitude of welfare municipalities: the evolution of local variation in Swedish elder care; reforming long-term care in Portugal: dealing with the multidimensional character of quality.
