A new study by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission explores the link between informal long-term care, demographic change and intergenerational fairness.
Europe is facing a significant demographic change. People are living longer, while fewer children are being born. As a result, the population is ageing rapidly. At the same time, informal care, for example provided by a family member, continues to play a key role in long-term care systems across the EU.
COFACE is partner in the Horizon Europe research project “PATHS2INCLUDE”. In this framework, we are organising the project final conference in Brussels, Belgium on 3 February 2026. We aim to make this conference a key tool for dissemination and an incubator for new partnerships for the take-up of PATHS2INCLUDE data in policy and practice.
