Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : With an aging population, elderly care is at the heart of public debate. Do existing policies ensure that access to long-term care is both equitable and efficient? This article shows how the concepts and methods of applied economics and health economics can help answer these questions. It is based upon two empirical studies, which were conducted in France and the Netherlands. The studies show that existing policies do not necessarily ensure horizontal equity in long-term care use, nor vertical equity in out-of-pocket payments. They also shed light on the role of needs assessment processes as a key cog of long-term care policies.
