Présentation : 

The provision of informal care has been the traditional mechanisms to address the care needs of European populations in need. However, its value goes unaccounted in long term care spending, as it refers to unpaid care and includes unmonetized costs, which if substituted by the market or community care would result in higher costs to both families and social protection systems. This paper draws on causal estimates and the wellbeing methods to estimate the causal of informal care  in different European countries.
