Modelling the provision of care for older people with long-term care needs – Chair in Long-Term Care

Context

It is true that the French are living longer, and so far have been enjoying better health for longer, but the latest projections generally suggest that life expectancy whilst in a state of dependency is set to remain stable. The aim of this project is to study the projected trends in populations requiring long-term care in order to analyse the full range of impacts associated with their care.

Presentation

The aim is to develop a ‘dependence’ module within the Institute for Public Policy’s dynamic ‘life cycle’ microsimulation model, TAXIPP-LIFE. The risk of older people losing their independence will be calculated on the basis of their individual characteristics. The resulting care needs will be assessed using various validated assessment tools in order to go beyond the administrative definition of need. Care arrangements, and in particular the behaviour of potential family carers, will also be modelled.

This project is led by the pole Health and autonomy.
