As populations in Asia and Europe face unprecedented levels of ageing, the demand for long-term care (LTC) is escalating, thereby challenging the sustainability of social protection systems. This paper employs a novel dynamic microsimulation model to project LTC demand and supply in Austria and...

This paper describes a novel method for the comparative estimation of long-term care needs, care arrangements and care gaps. Our approach generalizes an Austrian administrative procedure for the assessment of care needs and uses data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe...

Population ageing will reshape economies around the world, with particular implications for longterm care (LTC) systems. As a result of past fertility decline, reflected in high levels of childlessness and smaller family networks, the growing demand for care is confronted by a declining supply...

This paper examines the evolving landscape of long-term care (LTC) provision in Austria, Spain, UK and Canada, four countries included in the collaborative research project WellCARE. Its aim is to provide a basis to understand the features and vulnerabilities of different care systems,...

Die Beschäftigungsquoten Älterer unterscheiden sich deutlich in den EU-Ländern. Dieser Beitrag vergleicht die Auswirkungen von institutionellen Strukturen in den Bereichen Arbeitslosenversicherung, Erwerbsminderung und Alterssicherung auf die Beschäftigungsquote der 55- bis 64-Jährigen in...

We analyse the (techno- and macro-)economic and distributive effects of a transformation to a renewable electricity system in Austria by 2030, as stipulated by the Austrian government. For the analysis, the macroeconomic model DYNK and ATLANTIS, a partial model of the electricity market, were...
