Pourquoi les aides à domicile sont-elles davantage rémunérées dans certains départements ?

For 20 years, the eldercare policy has largely favored home care. Public policies have sought to subsidize demand and to organize the supply of services.

In a second step, the paper seeks to scrutinize the mechanisms that lead to such significant gaps by highlighting the role of different types of employers and department policies.
