The Performance of Different Long-term Care Systems

12.09.2019

Invitation to the 13th Welfare State Enquete on 8 October 2019

The rising demand for long-time care will lead to higher costs for the public sector. This year's conference is therefore devoted to the discussion of advantages and disadvantages of the different care financing models and whether there are differences in the services offered.
