Pension systems are very much about provision of income security in old age. Therefore, there will be a continuous need to monitor these systems in terms of fulfilling their most important function, i.e. how they provide for a satisfactory standard of living of the elderly population.

How does volunteering contribute to the prevention and combating of social exclusion: Volunteering strengthens individuals and enables them to grow; volunteering means, doing something worthwhile and enjoyable, while strengthening networks and self-confidence.

The Austrian InCARE Policy Roadmap presents recommendations for the further development of long-term care in the country. The recommendations focus on three different areas: developing the public debate on long-term care further, developing and expanding of services and addressing future needs in terms of financing long-term care.

These recommendations build on the different InCARE activities. The recommendations relating to financing long-term care were developed based on a cell-based model to calculate the projected costs of long-term care in Austria in 2035. It includes five different scenarios addressing care needs, availability of informal care, availability of residential care spots, availability of live-in care and wage costs. The calculation is also described in detail in the technical annex of the policy roadmap.

The InCARE project evaluation report presents the application of the ToC framework in the pilot interventions in the three case countries, Austria, North Macedonia, and Spain, as well as the whole project.
