Currently, public funding for long-term care (LTC) in Austria relies on taxes. The project analyses alternative options for public financing of LTC with regard to distributional effects and macroeconomic effects, the latter including projections until 2065. Analysed funding options are (a) the introduction of a social LTC insurance levied on incomes that are also subject to social health insurance contributions, (b) a social LTC insurance levied on pension incomes only, and (c) a private LTC insurance.
