abstract: 'Older people of lower socioeconomic status (SES) are disproportionately
affected by chronic conditions, yet less able to compensate health
limitations through use of formal long-term care (LTC) at home, a
preferred type of care for most. Some, like older women and single
people, are particularly vulnerable. Under the Austrian public
cash-for-care scheme, which aims to incentivise care at home and
empowerment of LTC users, this study analyses: (i) interdependencies
between SES, gender and informal'' or family care, and (ii) how these
factors associate with the use of old age formal home care in Vienna. An
adaptation of Arber and Ginn''s theory is used to identify material
resources (income), health resources (care needs) and informal caring
resources (co-residence and/or availability of family care). Gender
aspects are also considered as a persistent source of inequalities.
Administrative and survey data, collected by public authorities between
2010 and 2012 in Vienna, serve to compare home care use in old age (60+)
to other support forms (residential and informal care) using logistic
regression analysis. Results show a pro-rich bias in home care use among
single-living people, with high-income single people being less likely
to move to a care home, while there are no significant income
differences present for non-singles. Second, traditional gender roles
are salient: female care recipients co-residing with a partner are more
likely to use formal care than men, reflecting that men''s traditional
gender roles involve less unpaid care work than women''s. In conclusion,
in an urban setting, the Austrian cash-for-care scheme is likely to
reinforce stratifications along gender and class, thus implementing the
general policy objective of care at home, but more likely for those with
higher income. A support mechanism promoting empowerment among all older
people might contribute to unequal degrees of choice, especially for
those with fewer resources to manage their way through a fragmented
system of LTC delivery.'
