The indicator specifies the year of formal adoption of a long-term care system (type A) in a country in the period 1940-2020. The year of adoption of the law establishing the long-term care system is coded ‘1’, all others ‘0’. A long-term care system is introduced when (i) country-wide legislation is adopted which (ii) establishes entitlements to LTC benefits, and (iii) one/several specific institution(s) are determined responsible for manageing the LTC system (integration) (cf. De Carvalho & Fischer 2020; Fischer et al. 2021).
Coding rules
The year of adoption of the law establishing the long-term care system is coded ‘1’, all others ‘0’. Multiple data sources were used for identifying the year/date of system introduction: laws and regulations, academic publications and reports and grey literature, national online newspaper articles and (official) websites as well as primary data collected through the project’s Expert Survey on Long-Term Care in 2020/21. For more information on the sources used per country see Fischer & Sternkopf (2021).
