The indicator specifies the actor type which was dominantly providing care in the long-term care system at introduction. Four actor types are distinguished: state, societal actors, private actors, and global actors. For a detailed discussion of all actor types see Fischer et al. 2021.
Coding rules
The dominant provider is operationalised by a) measuring the share of different LTC benefit types available to recipients (in-kind home and community care, institutional care, cash benefits), b) the share of different actor types in each of this domains and c) calculating the overall share of actors in the long-term care system. A detailed discussion of the operationalization can be found in Rothgang et al. (2021, pp. 9-10). Multiple data sources were used for identifying dominant actors: laws and regulations, academic publications and reports and grey literature, statistics, national online newspaper articles and (official) websites as well as primary data collected through the project’s Expert Survey on Long-Term Care in 2020/21. For more information on the sources used per country see Appendix in Rothgang et al. (2021).
