Development of Care Modules (wellCARE)

Model extensions implemented alongside the wellCARE project, focusing on childcare and long-term care. Current work focuses on longterm-care for persons 65+. This - in a nutshell - involves:

• Adaptation of the starting population: add institutionalized population 65+

• Data preparation: correction of under-representation of institutionalized population in SHARE

• Model of care needs based on (I)ADLs

• Model of care hours. Development of objective ways to map (I)ADL limitations to care hours (administrative mapping, regression approach)

• Modeling of nursing homes

• Modeling of care mix in home care as received today: formal services, informal care by partner, others; care gap

• Modeling of informal care supply to others than a partner. Adjustment routines to match supply to care received

• Accounting and pricing of care services

• Modeling of policy levers for what-if scenarios: response to care gaps

• Accouning routines for distributional analysis and economic consequences
