Much of the debate about the provision of long-term care for elderly people and who should be responsible for it has taken place in a vacuum of information about the options for different forms of provision, their costs, and their feasibility. Most importantly, reearchers know neither what the public at large believes to be the correct balance between the state, the family and the individual in relation to providing or paying for care for older people, nor if and how those beliefs are translated into action. It is this gap that this research is attempting to fill. This paper presents preliminary analysis of data collected during a national survey of attitudes and beliefs about long-term care in old age. This survey is the first stage of the project; the second stage will involve detailed interviews with a smaller sample of people and will explore their actual behaviour against the attitudes they expressed in the first stage.

The possibility that this market-oriented activity has an adverse effect on the ability of pensions to provide adequate income is seldom addressed in the UK. This new study by the authors brings together the diverse strands of EU pension-related activity and finds it has had both beneficial and adverse effects an occupational and state pensions in the UK.
