The relationships between informal and formal social care for older people in England: A comparison before and after the Care Act 2014.
Social care is an integral part of the UK welfare system and plays an imperative role in promoting the well-being of older people. This study investigates the impacts of receiving informal social care on formal social care use among community-dwelling older people in England before and after the implementation of the Care Act 2014. Data came from the Health Survey for England for the years 2011 to 2018 (N = 17,292). Bivariate probit models were used to address the endogeneity issue. The analysis shows that receipt of informal care substitutes for formal care. Informal care had a strong substitution effect on formal personal care before 2015, which was significantly weakened after 2015. While the receipt of formal personal care has been increasingly "carer-blind," that of formal domestic care depends on the availability of informal carers and personal affordability, which may result in unmet care needs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aging & Social Policy offers a platform for insightful contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of policy analysts and scholars. It provides an in-depth examination and analysis of critical phenomena that impact aging and the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, with a broad scope that encompasses not only the United States but also regions including Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim.
The journal regularly addresses a wide array of issues such as long-term services and supports, home- and community-based care, nursing-home care, assisted living, long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage, housing, transportation, health care access, financing, and quality, family dynamics, and retirement. These topics are of significant importance to the field of aging and social policy, reflecting the journal's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of the challenges and solutions related to aging populations around the world.
