Determinants of long-term care use

As a result of population ageing, long-term care (LTC) use will increase over the next decades. To predict and influence future LTC use, we need knowledge about the determinants of long-term care use, about what determines what type of LTC people use and what explains changes (transitions) from one type of care to another. This paper studies which personal characteristics and supply conditions determine LTC use and transitions in LTC use for the 50+ population in the Netherlands.
