The most common family structure in Italy has, for centuries, been the so called 'patriarchal' or 'extended family'. This type of family structure has guaranteed adequate support of two or three generations and, thus, the needs of the grandparents. However, the number of elderly in Italy, particularly in the north, is growing considerably in proportion to youth and networks of family and friends are being reduced. This article identifies an increased acknowledgement of elder abuse in Italy and looks at how it is perceived by the family and care institutions.

Regulating the delivery of cash‐for‐care payments across Europe

The article aims to understand how governments across Europe have modified the regulation of the delivery of cash‐for‐care schemes (CfCs) to dependent older people since the beginning of the century. In our terminology, the regulation of the CfCs delivery defines the norms, rules, and practices that public actors adopt to manage how beneficiaries can use the benefits. To discuss the regulation of CfCs delivery, an original framework is employed that take three analytical dimensions into account: the degrees of freedom in benefits' utilization (“CfCs utilization” dimension), the provision of information/orientation/advices/counselling to older people and families (“professional support” dimension), and the relationship between the delivery of CfCs and the delivery of the other publicly funded long‐term care inputs (“care system” dimension). The analysis adopts a comparative perspective, looking at six countries—Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Germany, and England. Among various findings, the main one consists in showing that there has been a shared and increased interest in consolidating the regulation of CfCs delivery. This trend has been mostly directed towards the new policy aim of strengthening the professional support, a goal underestimated in the past, when this dimension was not a major topic of both debate and practice concerning CfCs across Europe.
