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,...

Europe's demographic shift is putting increasing pressure on long-term care (LTC) systems and raising concerns about the sustainability of LTC financing. This paper analyses Austria's LTC system, particularly its universal long-term care allowance (LTCA), and uses a dynamic microsimulation model...
