Course description
As life expectancy increases and birthrates decline, the world’s population is aging. Addressing the growing demand for long term support and medical care is a key challenge facing governments in all developed countries. Governments must be efficient, because there is a decreasing cohort of workers supporting these expenditures. This course describes and compares how countries, particularly France, the UK, Germany, Japan, the US and Canada, finance and deliver long term care. Topics include long term care insurance, and policies and technologies that enable the aging to stay at home as long as possible.
