This chapter presents some findings from the research project ‘Modelling Needs and Resources of Older People to 2030’ (MAP2030). The project developed a set of projection models to estimate future family circumstances, incomes, pensions, savings, disability and care needs of older people in England. These projections included public and private expenditure on pensions, disability benefits and care services under different scenarios for reform of pensions and long-term care funding under a range of alternative population futures. The chapter focuses on the projected future costs and impacts for the different income quintiles of the older population of proposed reforms to the system of funding adult social care, in particular the impact of a cap on individual liability to meet care costs.

Abstract Publicly funded long-term care (LTC) support is shrinking in many countries despite continuing increases in the number of older people who need care. Evidence has shown that the LTC services have an impact on the efficient use of the resources in the health care sector by reducing rates of admission and associated costs through assisting older people with daily living. This paper seeks to examine whether and to what extent these services are substitutes. We use a fixed-effect instrumental variable GMM model to predict the effect of long-term care services on the utilisation of outpatient and inpatient care services. Data are drawn from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey 2011, 2013 and 2015. Our findings suggest that LTC significantly reduces the use of outpatient care but not inpatient care. We have also found LTC use is concentrated among the rich, but the substitution effects are stronger among the poor compared to the rich. This indicates that the poor would benefit more from subsided LTC services. We urge the Chinese government to take action to develop its formal LTC system and to channel more resources to its LTC system, which will benefit the older population in general, and the poor in particular.

The Difference

Purpose – Despite the current focus on demand-based care, little is known about what clients consider important when they have a request for formal long-term care services. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – Questions about the access process to care services were added to the “Senior Barometer”, a Dutch web-based questionnaire that assesses the opinion of older people about different aspects in life. The questionnaire surveyed both people who already requested care services (“users”), and people that did not (“future clients”). Findings – The results show a significant difference in what people expect to be the first step from what users actually did, when requesting formal care services. In addition, there was a significant difference on how “users” and “future clients” rated several access service aspects. Research limitations/implications – The results give valuable information on how both “users” and “future clients” value the access process. The findings also provide valuable input for organizations providing long-term care for older clients about the important issues that have to be considered when organizing the access process. Originality/value – This study shows what older people in the Netherlands find important during the access process to care and this has not been explored before. The difference between what “users” and “future clients” find of importance in the care access process suggests that it is difficult for people to foresee what will be important once the need for care arrives, or where they will turn to with a request for care services.
