Mixed care for elderly people in spain and france: a comparative analysis
Camacho Ballesta, José Antonio; Minguela Recover, María Ángeles
The aim of this paper is to make a comparative analysis of the factors influencing
the receipt of mixed care in over 65’s in France and Spain who receive informal
care. As a data source we used the SHARE w4 for 2011. We applied binary
logistic regression models for the analysis of the factors predicting the use of
mixed care. The main results are gender is a significant factor in Spain but not in
France. The income and the receipt of additional regular state subsidies or benefits
increase the use of mixed care in both countries. Our findings suggest that the
dynamics of spatial proximity to their social network are different. In France the
social network is more dispersed in the territory, while in Spain it tends to be
concentrated within less than 1 km. It was confirmed that mixed care is an
additional complement for those receiving informal care.
