This dataset shows what percentage (%) of providers of informal long-term care provide such care to people who live outside their household.
The dataset takes into consideration individuals who are cared for and reside in another household or in a care institution (full or part-time).
Long-term care refers to a range of supportive services and medical assistance provided to individuals who require extended or ongoing help with activities of daily living, for a minimum of three months.
This indicator is disaggregated by the education level of the respondent. Responses were grouped into three levels of education according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED): “Low” (ISCED 1-2), “Medium” (ISCED 3-4) and “High” (ISCED 5-8). ISCED levels are: Primary education or less, Lower secondary education or equivalent level, Secondary education (e.g. high school), Post-secondary education non-tertiary (e.g. technical education lasting minimum 6 months), Short-cycle tertiary (e.g. advanced vocational education lasting minimum 2 years), University: Bachelor’s or equivalent level, University: Master’s or equivalent level or University: Doctoral (PhD) or equivalent level.
