“…In some cases, care recipients pay in proportion to their income or wealth, as in France, where people who receive the personalized independence allowance (allocation personnalisée d'autonomie) for hiring home care services must pay for a percentage of the total cost of their care plan unless they earn less than €800 per month. This percentage can be as much as 90% of the plan for those who earn over €2,945 per month (2018 values) (Le Bihan, 2018). South Korea requires beneficiaries to cover 20% of the cost of residential care and 15% of the cost of home care, unless they are living in poverty (Caruso Bloeck, Galiani, and Ibarrarán, 2017;National Health Insurance Service Korea, 2019).…”

In this report, we analyze older persons quality of life in Latin America and the Caribbean, its relationship with social protection policies, and how these policies must adapt to respond to population aging. We create a measure of quality of life of older persons which combines healthy life expectancy and income security. For the purposes of this report, we define older persons social protection as the combination of pensions, healthcare, and long-term care. These policies have a direct relationship with older persons quality of life. Pensions reduce old-age poverty. Healthcare improves older persons health status and reduces the risk of poverty due to catastrophic medical expenses. Long-term care improves the wellbeing of care dependent persons and their family caregivers. These positive impacts of older persons social protection are documented in a wide body of literature. For each type of policy, we assess the level of coverage, the quality of the benefits they provide, as well as their current and future sustainability, both from a fiscal and from a social perspective.
