abstract: 'Objectives: The general aim of the article is to incorporate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stratification perspective into the study of (long-term) care systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In particular, 3 issues are investigated: the extents to which (a)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
personal and family resources influence the likelihood of using formal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care in later life; (b) the unequal access to formal care is mediated by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in the availability of informal support; (c) the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationship between individuals'' resources and the use of formal care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in old age varies across care regimes and is related to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
institutional design of long-term care policies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method: Data from Waves 1 and 2 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Retirement in Europe for 4 countries: Denmark, Germany, France, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Italy, and population aged at least 65 (N = 9,824) were used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Population-averaged logit models were used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Logit models revealed that in terms of access to formal care:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an individual''s educational level plays a limited role; family networks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
function similarly across the countries studied; in general, financial
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wealth does not have a significant effect; there is a positive relation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between income and the use of formal care in Germany and Italy, and no
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant relation in France and Denmark; home ownership has a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
negative effect in Germany and Denmark. On accounting for informal care,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality associated with individuals'' economic resources remains
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
substantially unaltered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Discussion: The study shows that care systems based on services
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
provision grant higher access to formal care and create lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities. Moreover, countries where cash-for-care programs and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
family responsibilities are more important register inequalities in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
use of formal care. Access to informal care does not mediate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distribution of formal care.'
