This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the principle issues surrounding the governance of home care. In this context home care is taken to mean any care and support offered to older people in their homes. The analysis maps out governing arrangements in relation to formal and informal care services, informal care, care workers and users of care across nine countries: Estonia; New Zealand; Italy; the United Kingdom; Sweden; Japan; Germany; the Netherlands; the United States. The authors explore the ways in which country specific contexts shape governing arrangements and bring together insights form social care and public policy literature.
