Abstract

The developed world's population is aging, due to trends of increased life expectancies and decreased fertility rates. These trends are predicted to increase demand on long-term care services. At the same time, the long-term care workforce is in shortage in most of the developed world. Moreover, such shortages are expected to increase due to parallel socio-demographic factors. The increase in demand for longterm care, coupled with shortage in supply of care workers, has promoted some attention from policymakers. The current paper provides an international review of institutional arrangements for long-term care in different developed countries and in particular explores different strategies used or proposed to resolve the shortage in the long-term care workforce.

  • Socio-demographic changes may hinder the ability of families, particularly women, to provide elder care in the Arab region.

    “they are faced by a set of socio-demographic changes that may hinder their ability to provide such care.”

    From Ageing and Elderly Care in the Arab Region: Policy Challenges and Opportunities (2017) · cites this paper as Hussein and Manthorpe 2005

    The Introduction (page not provided) says families, mainly women, provide much elder care and that demographic and socioeconomic changes can reduce the availability of informal caregivers. The review focuses on developed countries; it does not establish that these changes are hindering family care in the Arab region. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Changes in family structure and youth migration, combined with increases in women's participation in the labour force, may negatively affect the availability and willingness of family members to provide care for older relatives.

    “In particular, changes in family structure and youth migration, combined with increases in women’s participation in the labour force, may negatively affect the availability and willingness of family members to provide care for their older relatives (Hussein and Manthorpe 2005).”

    From Ageing and Elderly Care in the Arab Region: Policy Challenges and Opportunities (2017) · cites this paper as Hussein and Manthorpe 2005

    The Introduction (page not available in our copy) says changes in family structure and women's labour-force participation negatively affect the availability and willingness of informal caregivers. It does not identify youth migration as a contributing factor; its discussion of migration concerns paid care workers instead. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
