Informal long-term care for elderly and frail persons

Population aging is the main driver of growing demand for long-term care which results in increasing pressures on public finances. The informal care for elderly and frail persons produces many benefits and creates savings in the national budget. Nevertheless, little is known in Croatia about the problems faced by informal care providers. This Newsletter presents data on informal care coverage, indicates the available rights of informal care providers and recipients in Croatia, and proposes measures to improve the national system of informal care for elderly and frail persons based on examples from other EU Member States.
