ESTRANCA

ESTRANCA (Emergence and Significance of Transnational Long-Term Care Arrangements) investigated the emergence of transnational care arrangements and their potential as solutions to problems experienced by policymakers and older people and their families in two countries with different LTC regimes: Germany and the Netherlands. A central hypothesis was that different LTC regimes provide different incentives and opportunities for transnational arrangements. The research focussed on how ‘care packages’ are actively constructed by individuals and families and how these micro-level packages are related to (changes in) national policies and macro-level ‘care mixes’.
