The two major public services for older people are institutional care and home care. In addition to these, a number of other low-level support services have also developed including transportation, meals-on-wheels, alarm systems, and day care. Using secondary analysis of a number of earlier surveys, this paper provides information on the way in which all of these types of support are allocated and who uses them in six different countries: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, England, Spain, and Israel. It also provides a closer scrutiny of Swedish service profiles. When all types of support are considered, service coverage in these countries is approximately 50% to 100% higher than for the two major types alone. The results suggest that countries with higher service levels target all their services more strictly by needs than countries with lower service levels. In countries with lower user rates, users may get what is available with little differentiation between their needs. The article suggests that a range of services, major and minor, may suit the varying needs of older people, and that minor services may also be used as an inexpensive substitute for full support.

The authors examines the transition of Danish long-term care policy with special attention to Skaevinge, the first community in Denmark to integrate institutional and community-based services for the elderly. Recent studies on the variation between costs and services in Danish communities and the results of American studies on community-based care suggest that successful implementation of integrated institutional and community-based long-term care is feasible in the United States.

Brings together a collection of papers that develops a comparative analysis of the way in which women in general, and mothers and carers in particular, are affected by social policy, with the central question being in what sense is caring for frail elderly or children 'work', how should it be remunerated. Also looks at how far labour market change, particularly in trends in women's employment, has fed into social policy development.
