Population ageing is gradually becoming one of the most important challenges facing governments globally. Many countries are unprepared for its vast social and economic implications. As governments around the world start to grasp that population ageing will put increased financial pressure on old-age support systems, sound research is needed to guide policy development. The long-term care (LTC) sector, which has proven very vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic, will be under particularly large strain in the forthcoming years.
To discuss these issues among international experts, the Institute of Public Finance organized the annual virtual Public Sector Economics 2022 Conference – Ageing and Long-Term Care on October 21, 2022.
The goal of the conference was to analyse the current state of LTC around the world and provide new policy options for tackling challenges that population ageing will bring to LTC.
