Abstract

Contributions to pension funds are placed on the capital market. To invest in a better old age for those who set aside those funds, it is necessary to adjust the system. The paper analyzes the problem in the long-term care system faced by private care homes, the outlook for the building of additional homes, and the interest of pension funds in investing in the long-term care system. The problem is becoming more and more significant as the population is growing older. The authors interviewed sixteen respondents. The aim was to collect views on the current possibilities and perspectives for the development of the long-term care system in Croatia. The results indicate that pension funds do have an interest in investing, but before that, the system of homes for the elderly needs to be reorganized.
