Local public provision of social assistance to older individuals can improve well-being and prevent the use of expensive care but needs to be targeted well. This study evaluates a Dutch policy reform that restricted the ability of municipalities to target social assistance using a difference-in-difference approach.

The webinar covers:

• Introduction to the Global Observatory of Long-Term care and the Quasi-Experimental Methods and welcome (Adelina Comas-Herrera, Care Policy and Evaluation Centre, LSE, UK).
