Beskrivning

The book explores increasing public support given to family care work (in the past, the family would take care of the elderly or infirm) and increasing growth and recognition of a extended social care market (by which care has shifted from a moral obligation based on family reciprocity to a paid, professional activity).

Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "The book provides a comprehensive description of contemporary LTC policies in different countries and regions of Europe, and a systematic exploration of the institutional conditions and socio-economic impacts of the changing LTC policies. ... The book's publication is timely and highly recommended for all those working in the field of LTC, whether they be academics, students or policymakers." (Ellen Kuhlmann, Social Policy & Administration, Vol. 47 (7), December, 2013) "The purpose is to educate society about the conflict of the social and political aspects of long-term care and the barriers that need to be addressed. These noteworthy objectives need to be strongly considered by long-term care experts. Long-term care practitioners are the intended audience, and the book has compiled much research. ... The side-by-side comparisons to other healthcare systems are phenomenal. The helpful glossary and appendixes are true assets. This is a unique book that covers a topic that few others address." (Katherine L. Aguilar, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2013)
