Abstract

The demographic revolution is underway. While we can applaud the fact that our fellow citizens are living longer, the fact that the population is growing older is not without raising a host of individual and collective challenges. The issue of age-related dependency is currently being widely debated in the public arena, but no lasting solution has yet emerged. Insurance companies are already a force to be reckoned with, since they hold long-term care contracts covering 7 million people. They want to go even further, and propose including long-term care coverage in common supplementary health insurance contracts in order to reach as many people as possible. In this article, we take a closer look at this concrete proposal, which addresses the concerns of French people, who are increasingly worried and powerless against this risk. JEL classification: G22, I13, J14.
