This article by Ricardo Rodrigues, Stefania Ilinca and Andrea E. Schmidt aims to investigate the impact of using two measures of socio-economic status on the analysis of how informal care and home care use are distributed among older people living in the community. Using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe for 14 European countries, we estimate differences in corrected concentration indices for use of informal care and home care and also calculate horizontal inequity indices. The findings show that using wealth as a ranking variable results, as a rule, in a less pro-poor inequality of use for both informal and home care.
