The financing needs of long-term care will multiply
At present, the public sector of Estonia spends more than 100 million euro per year on long-term care, but during the next 50 years, the annual need for providing long-term care services may increase to nearly 900 million euro (if expenses are calculated on the basis of today’s level of prices and wealth), the OECD predicts. Estonia’s possibilities were discussed at the Foresight Centre web seminar “Long-term care: where to find the money for it?”, held on 3 June.
