"The core objective of this report is to analyze long-term care for the elderly in Europe (LTC or long-term care henceforth) from the twin perspectives of female employment and gender equality. The focus is on provisioning rather than financing and expenditure, provisions in kind such as institutionalization or personal care delivered at home, monetary provisions such as care or attendance allowances, and time-related provisions such as leave offwork or the right to flexible hours."
