Teppo Kröger Libri

Focusing on outcomes rather than just expenditures, this book shifts the perspective of social policy and long-term care research to examine whether older individuals receive the necessary support. It emphasizes the importance of understanding unmet needs among different social groups to effectively guide policy development. By addressing these critical issues, the book aims to enhance the quality of long-term care systems and ensure that they adequately serve the elderly population.

This book explores the challenges faced by families, particularly lone parents, immigrants, and dual career households, in balancing work and care responsibilities. It offers a comparative qualitative analysis based on interviews from various European countries, providing insights into gender balance in caregiving and cultural influences on care organization.
