The increase in demand for long-term care raises questions about the capacity of governments to provide access to needed care, how these services will be properly resourced and who should receive these benefits. This book provides a roadmap for investing in long-term care systems. It argues for increased public investment in high-quality, universally accessible long-term care and explains why these systems benefit everyone: households, health systems, economies, and societies. Bringing together a team of academics and policy experts from around the world, this book explains why and how governments can, and should, take action. Ricardo Rodrigues, Cassandra Simmons and Kai Leichsenring have contributed a chapter on the impact of long-term care on the financial situation of families in Europe.

Kai Leichsenring together with Cassandra Simmons and Johanna Fischer contributed the Chapter Emerging Long-Term Care Systems: Learning from Comparison to a comparative analysis of health and social care policy and practice from around the world, edited by Julia Morgan and Vincent La Placa, University of Greenwich.
