Overall, relatively few 50+ Europeans hold private long-term care insurance (LTCI) policies.

There are large country-specific variations in LTCI coverage rates that are mainly related to differences in the institutional design of long-term care provision.

Education, income, widowhood, good subjective health status, and chronic conditions are positively related with the demand for LTCI policies.
