The ninth academic workshop within the series of events under the topic “Active Ageing Policy and Pension Reforms: Russian and International Experience”

The Institute for Social Policy at the National Research University Higher School of Economics will held the ninth academic workshop devoted to the Economic Aspects of the Long-Term Care System in Russiaorganized in cooperation with the Russian National Association of social service providers (NASO) within the series of events under the topic “Active Ageing Policy and Pension Reforms: Russian and International Experience”on November 28, 2019.

Discussing the development of a long-term care system in the Russian Federation revealed a lack of fundamental assessments of long-term care needs and a lack of a methodological basis for planning related expenditures. The workshop will discuss diverse methods for building long-term forecasts as well as preliminary results of modeling the need for long-term care. Moving towards quantitative modeling will allow to determine more accurately the amount of expenses associated with the provision of care services including the formal sector (budgetary and extrabudgetary or private funding) and informal care (provided by family and relatives) as well as to assess the sufficiency of care infrastructure and the potential investment need to upgrade and develop it.
