As global populations age, governments are seeking sustainable and equitable funding for long-term care (LTC). This report examines LTC financing in 13 countries: five high-income (Australia, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Uruguay) and eight middle-income (China, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, South Africa, Thailand). The study identifies three main objectives: classifying countries with established LTC, assessing their financing features, and discussing the benefits and challenges of various financing strategies.<\/p>\n

Among high-income countries, Japan has the highest public LTC spending, while Singapore has the lowest. Middle-income countries spend minimally on LTC, with Costa Rica and Thailand spending just 0.05% and 0.01% of GDP, respectively. The financing approaches in middle-income countries range from mixed universal and means-tested programs to predominantly means-tested systems within social welfare frameworks.<\/p>\n

The report highlights key considerations for LTC system design, offering insights for creating effective, sustainable LTC financing systems to support ageing populations.<\/p>\n
