Description
This project explored inter-generational roles and inter-generational equity among different stakeholders in health services and community care for older people. An investigation was conducted from the perspectives of service delivery, financing, and policy, across health systems in the six different countries involved.
A systematic literature review was undertaken, along with cross-national comparative analysis. The three main research questions were:
- What is the inter-generational role in health service delivery and health financing?
- What are the main issues relating to inter-generational equity?
- What are the barriers to and facilitators of inter-generational interaction that may contribute to sustainable health systems in an ageing population?
