Abstract
Comparative studies of home care, eldercare and social care generally indicate that a large number of industrialized countries are facing common challenges.
These challenges are caused by the demographical developments of an aging population, changed labor market conditions and changed family structures.
At a macro-level this presentation analyzes how different welfare state systems cope with these challenges by organizing the provision of eldercare in different ways.
At a micro-level different systems of needs-assessment are analyzed. The pros and cons of these different systems will be discussed since this presentation is planned as an introduction to the complexities that are associated with need assessment practice.
