Analyses of welfare-state reform policies towards long-term senior care in a cross-European perspective

Abstract  

The aim of this article is to introduce a systematic, structured conceptual framework for the comparative analysis of welfare-state
reform policies towards long-term senior care and the care structures in a cross-European perspective. A welfare state’s policies
on the long-term care of senior citizens frame the different aspects of their care: the care options of the older people,
the employment situation of the different types of caregivers and the care quality. The actual structure of senior care is
mainly based on the specific care-provision mix in a welfare state and on the main types of care employment. It is should
not, however, be treated as a direct outcome of care policies in analyses of welfare-state policies, since the care recipients
and care givers all act within the broader framework of the complex and often contradictory cultural, institutional, social
and economic context—the specific ‘care arrangement’ of a country.
